Jeff Abbott

Interesting history of the area.

Mariano Elisa Tolentino

It was raining when we disembarked from the cruise ship but that didn't stop us from visiting what Skagway had to offer to tourists like us and it didn't disappoint.

Almita Schaefer

Quaint place with nice beer tasting

Michael Wilkinson

Helpful info and staff

Karen Bernhardy

It was GREAT!

Alan Weaver

Very informative people. They keep a list of people who came through during the Gold Rush. Not complete, but they have a form for you to add information if you have some.

Mike GK

Tohy don't often get ro witness first hand the beauty that a trip to Alaska will offer. You see so much more on foot. For example. It's a bit of a hike to the Mendenhall glacier, but it's a bargain at TWICE the distance.

Joe V

Encompasses the town of Skagway ak. Multiple historic sites within walking distance. Educates on Yukon gold rush and the towns history.

Dr. L “L. Jackson Page” Jackson Page

Only good thing about this tourist trap...

Johnny Startrain

(Translated) Very nice place. (Original) Sehr schöner Ort.

thomas witschel

Very cool town with lots of shopping and food

Asher Maslan

The best stop on the cruise. We spent most of our time off the main drag discovering fisheries and abandoned train machines.

Caleb Reed

Very helpful and informative!

Joseph Boronka

Very nice with good display history

John “J.R.” Trindle

Great information on the gold rush and history of Skagway.

Jon Jenkins

The statues outside are the main attraction.

Celina Marie

I cannot figure how Google has me listed here. I was on a cruise ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I am sure this is 5 star so want to rate 5 stars ...it sounds exotic and hope to go!!

Boo Hunter

I was in Skagway for the day via a cruise, and after my shore excursion, had plenty of time to drop by the Visitor Center and check out the NHP. I was in luck! When the ships are in port, the rangers conduct walking tours of the town hourly, and I arrived a few minutes before one was starting. It was a nice stroll around the town, and I learned lots of interesting things about the stampeders. I dearly love the National Park Service and this was a great site to visit, I recommend it!

B Deedle

I would have loved to explore Scagway a little more than my excursion allowed. The town was fresh and quaint.

Marc Macenko

Beautiful area.

Liz Kingston

Extremely interesting!

Megan Coburn

This was such a fun place to visit! There was a lot of information yo read, and stunning views for when reading seemed like too much work. Panning for gold was one of the hilights of my trip... it felt like being a kid and it was hard to leave. I hope we can stop by again!

Moon Bear Woman

NOTE: The above featured photo of the AB HALL is the SKAGWAY VISITOR CENTER and NOT the KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH NHP visitor center. Both are excellent resources, but Google really needs to allow a way to report when featured photos are not of the locations they are labeled as.

Christopher Everett

if you want to learn some history and her an idea of what the people went through this is the place to visit

Excellent spot to visit and enjoy when you get a chance to check out Alaska. Knowing some things about the region helps you appreciate it just that much more. We've been twice and we're going back again soon. If you have the opportunity to visit... TAKE IT!

The guided tours are great.

Fireman IV

Small local museum with local history that is free.

Love the history displays and information you can get here. The walking tours are also fantastic if you're looking for something to do in Skagway. Everyone should stop in here first if you're interested in the real town and not cruise-line owned jewelry stores.

Matt Takas

Very friendly staff! The walking tour with Anne was very informative and she's extremely knowledgeable! She answered questions that everyone had with ease and expanded even to fill out more of the details also. Stop in if you are curious about the history here!

Melissa Miller

Friendly informative staff. Interesting things to read throughout. Ladies bathroom had a lengthy line, smelled of urine and were tight corridors. There are four stalls though and in an emergency it served its purpose.

The area of Skagway has several National Parks locations that are part of the one park. Be sure to explore beyond the first building to get the full experience. I suggest doing the junior ranger programs to learn the most about the park.
