A
Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre
Highly recommended, the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre focuses on Beringia, a mostly ice-free area that encompassed the Yukon, Alaska and eastern Siberia during the last ice age. Engaging exhibits re-create the time, right down to the giant beaver by the door. It's just south of the airport.

old log church
A downtown gem, the 1900 old log church is the only log-cabin-style cathedral in the world. Displays include the compelling story of Rev Isaac Stringer who boiled and ate his boots while lost in the wilderness for 51 days. Fittingly, all that's left is his sole.

SS Klondike
The carefully restored SS Klondike was one of the largest sternwheelers used on the Yukon River. Built in 1937, it made its final run upriver to Dawson in 1955 and is now a national historic site. Try not to wish it was making the run now.
