Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre
Museum of ice-age Beringia, where skeletons of woolly mammoths, giant beavers and short-faced bears are displayed in a row.
During the ice age, most of the Yukon was free of ice sheets and was connected to Siberia by the Bering Land Bridge. It became a paradise for mammoths, American lions and early humans. The centre displays real and reconstructed skeletons, murals and artefacts recovered from permafrost, as well as films about Indigenous peoples and archaeological discoveries. It is located beside the Alaska Highway, near the airport, and joint tickets are available with the neighbouring Yukon Transportation Museum.
Opening hours
Summer daily approx. 09:00–18:00; winter open only on a few days such as Sun–Mon (check the official website)
