Closed for restoration
SS Klondike
A sternwheeler and National Historic Site on the Yukon River. Built in 1937, it made its last run in 1955. Parks Canada has closed the boat for a multi-year restoration, so there are no tours on board. The grounds and riverside are open, and it is still worth a short stop on a waterfront walk.

A rearing horse more than three metres high by Yukon artist Daphne Mennell, welded from scrap metal that Yukoners donated. It was put up in 2011 and looks out over the city.
