Things to Do at Caribou Crossing

Wildlife Museum

Wildlife Museum at Carcross, Yukon In a land where giant wild beasts still reign, this is your only chance to get up close and personal without serious danger of becoming part of the food chain.

Take a humbling stroll among the creatures of Yukon's past and present that include Steppe Bison, record Polar Bear, monster Moose, Wooly Mammoth and the original icon, the Caribou.

Bring your camera!

Included in the museum admission is entrance into our outside exhibit which includes those cute little goats walking over your head. As well, we have a number of other live animals for you to check out. All the animals love the attention and can't wait to have you visit.

Yukon Goat Walk

Check out Yukon's highrise goats. Our friendly goats love heights, especially if you are willing to feed them with our innovative feeders. Put some feed into the feeders and crank it to the top where the crew are waiting for their treats. It seems there is never enough food to keep these guys happy.
