MacBride Museum of Yukon History : Step inside galleries filled with Gold Rush artefacts and northern stories. Wander a historic street exhibit and match names you’ve heard to faces in old photos.

Question 2

Is Whitehorse walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, downtown Whitehorse is walkable. You can reach the riverfront, the Millennium Trail, SS Klondike, and museums on foot.

For longer distances, Whitehorse Transit helps: Route 8 Airport goes to the airport and Yukon Transportation Museum, Route 2 Riverdale crosses the bridge to the east side, and Routes 1 and 3 serve Porter Creek and Takhini. The Yukon Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Springs are better by car.

If you prefer more comfort or are planning day trips outside town, a private tour in Whitehorse works well.
