I'm surprised this isn't higher on the TripAdvisor list of top things to do in Whitehorse. If you like history and the Yukon, you will love this. Have also been to the S.S. Keno in Dawson City, it is neat to compare the two as this is one of the larger paddle wheelers from the era.

Unfortunately it was closed for renovations when we visited in Sept 2022 but there was an informative movie in one of the buildings onsite. A well-preserved piece of Klondike history.

I did not go in, but did explore outside the S.S. Klondike. I got to read up on the boat and how it came to rest here.

The SS Klondike story is a compelling one - a great inexpensive tour by Jared (Parks Canada employee) detailing the history of riverboats and their use in the gold rush. There's also a little movie you can watch.
Unfortunately, we couldn't go in as we were told that inside tours were suspended because of Covid.

Beautiful place to stop. Right by the river. Great photo opportunities there! Ask questions as park workers very knowledgeable.

Stopped by upon arriving in Whitehorse. The ship was supposed to have the restoration work finished by this month(according to the Parks Canada employee), but it looks like it’s far from being completed. You can walk around on a self guided tour with a brochure ($2.50). You cannot go inside or on the ship. A lot of construction work and fencing surrounds it. Interesting history, and the scenery around the river is very nice. Lots of parking, small gift shop, movie available.

Walked by this morning and while it was somewhat underwhelming because it's winter and half the boat is covered up and there is restoration being done, it was still cool to see!

Was great to walk the Millenium Trail and be able to see this important piece of history. It was Feb in a snowstorm... but really enjoyed seeing it up close. The information / pictures about the SS Klondike that were outside the little building nearby were also very informative. Whitehorse's history is very very cool!

The vessel is now resting on the banks of the Yukon River. There is an admission fee to get inside. But even outside, you can definitely smell the ship. There is a visitor centre as well with a very small gift shop that sells Parks Canada swag.
There is ample parking for cars, RVs and buses.

What is the cost for a large group tour? Do I purchase group tickets prior to visit or when we arrive? Snaks or food available on site.
