Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
is located where the mountains meet the sea in beautiful scenic Skagway, Alaska.
Here we tell the story of colliding cultures,
people trying to strike it rich,
and the perils that they faced along the way.
During your time here, there are so many things that you can do within our visitor center
and also our historical district
So follow me inside folks and check out our actual visitor center
all right.
We recommend beginning your journey here with our 24 minute park film and in the theater
Feel free to ask the ranger about any of our ranger led activities
like our ranger led map chat
or ranger led theater program in the theater.
You can discover history by taking part and Ranger led tours of the Jeff. Smiths Parlor Museum
and by visiting the Skagway Historic District.
Children of all ages can take part in our Junior Ranger program
Which can be done throughout the park using our booklet
or by coming in to the Junior Ranger Activity Center
and completing interactive activities that can be done right here in the historic Pantheon Saloon.
