klondike gold rush national historic park印象

The visitor center shows a great movie on the gold rush every hour on the hour, mostly. great exhibits. You can get a Junior Ranger Badge if you fill out the booklet, which takes a couple of hours. They also offer free walking tours of the downtown area. The park also includes the famous Chilkoot Trail located 10 miles out of town, so accessible by bike or tour or rental car only.

Drive from Skagway around to the old Dyea townsite where thousands mustered with all their belongings before tackling the dreaded Chilkoot Trail. The Town is completely gone and the entire area is overgrown but you can walk around where the old streets used to run and wonder at the obsession that drove people onto these muddy flats to seek their fortunes in the north.

The National Park Service operates several exhibits and museums in Skagway. The NPS facilities are intermixed with the other buildings in the town. Walking tours, lectures, and films are all provided by the National Park Service. There was no charge for any of the exhibits museums or films. This is a great opportunity to get an excellent understanding for the history of the goldrush in The Klondike during the late 19th century.

The Park Service has done a great job restoring some of the historic buildings in Skagway, and the free walking tours are very interesting (shout out to our favorite guide, Olive!). Do not miss this, even if you are a compulsive shopper!

Movie about goldrush was good and enjoyed this. Rangers were nice but gift shop attendant was rude and acted like it was a chore to tear away from the book she was reading to ring up our purchase.....gave you a sour taste...

If you go, take the free downtown walking tour. Takes an hour. We had 2 friends that had been here several times, had not heard some of the stories before. A great no cost thing to do on a cruise.

We took the free tour offered from the visitor center. It's a nice way to see the town and learn its history. We also went to a few places that it seems most visitors were missing. They happened to be interesting -- and free!

We enjoyed walking through Skagway and the various Gold Rush museums. We also watched the movies that was in the visitor center building of the park. Some of our highlights we liked included:1) The restoration of the mascot saloon2) The various historic buildings - they have plaques on the houses and let you know a bit about the history.3) Skagway Centennial Statue

The Park Rangers offer free walking tours multiple times per day to learn about the gold rush coming through Skagway. The movie in the main building was interesting and each guided tour is a bit different depending on who leads the tour. We had a young lady who was very interesting and you could tell she made a lot of effort to educate herself about the period and the people to make the tour much more interesting. The museum is also quite good.

When your cruise ship is stopping in Skagway, definitely make your way to the visitors center and sign up for a free downtown walking tour. Our park ranger (Olive!!) was such a delight - she clearly enjoyed giving tours and was very animated in her story telling which made it that much better. I would still recommend doing an excursion (my family did the train) but you'll still have plenty of extra time left. There's honestly nothing else in the town and it's free so why not? I believe iit's just as good (if not better) than a paid walking tour.Don't waste your money and take the free tour!
