You seem to be…

Relaxed Traveller

You enjoy venturing out in nature, but your dream trip to the Yukon doesn’t stray too far from at least a few modern comforts. Your preference is to have the option to unwind and treat yourself rather than tackling gruelling hikes, but that doesn’t mean you want to miss out on iconic Yukon activities like the northern lights or midnight sun. Arts & culture are a focus and you seek out guided tours so you can learn about the territory’s land and heritage.

Curious Explorer

Your dream trip to the Yukon combines exploration of the unknown with down-to-earth comforts. Seeing the iconic landscape by any means possible is how you like to travel; car, hiking, dog sledding, horseback riding, mountain biking, you’ll do it all. Plus, you’re not shy to ask locals for recommendations. And when it comes to resting your weary feet, the unique lodgings on offer pique your interest.

Extreme Adventurer

You’re all about going off the beaten track and answering the call of the wild with a howl of your own. As a lover of the outdoors, you’ve planned your adventures ahead of time but are always looking to uncover the lesser known and one-of-a-kind activities that can be found by speaking to the locals. Breaking a sweat is how you roll, ride, ski or sled and at the end of a high octane day, you’re happy with a simple tent-pad in the heart of nature.

MacBride Museum offers a comprehensive view of the resilient people and ground breaking events that shaped Canada's Yukon.

MacBride Museum is a General Yukon History Museum. Started in 1950, we illustrate, share, and protect Yukon’s objects and stories.

MacBride is the Yukon's first museum and recently expanded to present more of Yukon’s treasures. Open year round offering special programs, gold panning, lectures, music and events. Come by and visit our 11 unique galleries!

Home to 40,000 objects, our galleries illustrate stories from Yukon First Nations, the natural world, the Klondike Gold Rush and more. Our Icons gallery showcases our unforgettable places and the amazing people who built modern Yukon. We're also home to incredible art pieces, including the Ted Harrison collection and the Northern Lights icicles. Learn about communications in our 1900 Telegraph Office and transportation history by visiting Engine 51 from the White Pass and the Woodchuck, a BYN ship. Take it all in through tours and storytelling.

Check out our summer operations at Copperbelt Mining Museum on the Alaska Highway.  Join us on daily summer tours about waterfront history in the Roundhouse. 

Coming in July, a USO-Style Variety Show in partnership with Velvet Antler Productions at the Roundhouse. 

Visit our gift shop for unique Yukon treasures and books! Plan your visit to MacBride today!
