The Yukon Transportation Museum celebrates the ingenuity and resilience of travel in Canada's North. Housed in a modern building near the Whitehorse airport, the museum displays a fascinating collection of vintage aircraft, including bush planes that opened up the territory, along with historic vehicles like dog sleds, snowmobiles, and railway cars. Interactive exhibits explain the challenges of moving people and goods across vast, rugged landscapes. Visitors can climb into a cockpit, explore a replica of the first plane to cross the Yukon, and learn about the role of transportation in shaping Yukon communities.
