Yukon Transportation Museum

We bought a combination admission and after visiting the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre, we took the walking trail over to the Yukon Transportation Museum. They had a lot of interesting vehicles and history about their artifacts. There was information on some artifacts that I never knew, so it was great information. This was definitely worth the stop. They have plenty of parking, even if you are in an RV.

I had several hours before my flight, and it's only a 5 minute walk from the terminal so I decided to check it out. It's not a huge museum, but they have a very good collection of different types of transportation history in Yukon, with lots of exhibits both inside and out. Definitely worth visiting if you have some extra time waiting for a delayed flight out of the airport.

We went and spent the afternoon at the museum on Sept 7th. What a wonderful treasure in Whitehorse. There was so much history and artifacts. We couldn't read it all.

Unfortunately it was closed the day we were planning on going there. But even from the outside there are a lot of vehicles to see and admire. Will have to come back sometime.

I loved loved loved this place. It's not huge but it's really well curated and shows a great sampling of the transportation history for the area. There's lots of great exhibits inside and the outside area has lots of interesting pieces of equipment as well. The train diorama and the stories that go along with it were a big hit with everyone but my favourite had to be the bush pilot room. The staff at the museum were all really friendly and happy to answer any questions I had, they even offered me a guided tour when they saw how enthusiastic about the bush pilot room I was. I could have easily spent 4-5 (or more) hours there, we were a bit shy on time but managed to see most of it in about 2.

Adult tickets are around $10 each. We were a little surprised considering the scale and modest set up. But after we get in, we immediately like the museum. You can tell they put lots of thoughts into it,m. Things are curated in a very interesting way. I assume the cost of running this little museum could be pretty high, so the cost are reasonable. It’s a fun way to know more about Whitehorse from the perspective of transportation. We spent 30-40 mins in there then we have to leave for our flight. If I get a chance to go back, I’d plan 1.5 hr for this place.

Don’t miss this! We had a few hours to fill before our flight and this exceeded our expectations. I loved some of the humorous captioning and the display styling was brilliant. There’s loads to see and we learned so much. The gift shop had some really interesting items including artwork and blueprints. Definitely worth it!

This is a great way to see the Yukon, a must see, come for the sights and stay for the history. We had a tour of the museum delivered with such Excitement it was so fun, Thanks to Nicole. The working model train was so cool. It travels through Whitehorse, Carcross and White Pass with awesome model planes in the sky over head. There were so many model planes, scrutinized for accuracy, plus the bonus of real ones as well. It was so cool to be immersed the amazing history of the Yukon.
