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.
It is right next to the airport so a convenient visit either on your way in or out of Whitehorse. Thoughtfully curated, lots of interesting exhibits and artifacts about the history of transportation in the Yukon. I spent around 50 minutes here.
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.
Not a very big museum but nice. I had expected more cars and planes. Many exhibits especially the ones outside don't have ANY information.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We were very surprised at the vast array of artifacts they had on display. It was a very nice museum with an indoor and outdoor area.
It's a great place to visit during a down day. If it's raining then give it a try. Be aware, it's only open on Saturday and Sunday during the winter. It's not huge and can take 30 minutes to see, but if you're into reading you could spend a few hours.
While the Transportation Museum YTM doesn't look very large, there's a lot to see, inside and outside around the property. The small gift shop has some really unique items. Watch for special events - they have some excellent transportation-related events throughout the year.
Outstanding collection. Beautifully curated. A must see in Whitehorse.
Very nice Museum that provides you with a good impression of the history of the yukon. The museum has done a big improvement compared to how it looked like seven years ago, which was the last time we visited. Congratulations! Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This is a really excellent museum. Lots of interesting exhibits, both inside the building and out and lots of wonderful old photographs. We really enjoyed talking with some of the museum volunteers...very interesting and very knowledgable.
