In 2013, the SS Klondike is open to the public at no charge for self-guided tours. A brochure points out the main points on the ship, and a Parks Canada staff member comes on board to answer questions when time allows. Formal tours are available by booking ahead with a private contractor.

My wife and I enjoyed the S.S. Klondike. Due to budget cuts, the Canadian Park Service provided a pamphlet for a self-guided walking tour of the vessel.

This national historical site is a gem located in downtown Whitehorse. The National Parks employees are extremely knowledgable and provide a great tour and plenty of insight into the Yukon's past. Well worth your time and an excellent value for a piece of history.

Have you ever seen a boat that could change the shape of its hull, walk itself forward off a shoal, and draw only a couple of feet of water while transporting many tons of goods against the river current, all fueled with wood?

The history that is imparted here is amazing. the cords of wood needed to fuel these machines and the conditions one lived in to ride on this boat. You must see this boat, inside and out.

Took the self guided tour. The recreations and preservation are delightful, no detail is spared. Definitely worth a few bucks and an hour of your time.

The history they packed in that boat was wonderful! It made it more real putting yourself in the place of the passengers and the crew

Managed a self guided tour on the last day of the season. Unfortunately they were starting to pack up the artifacts as we were touring, would have been nice to have that done after the tours were done for the day. Boat is well looked after and in a very well maintained park. Brochure for the self guided tour was...
