Junior Ranger Activity Center


At the Pantheon Saloon, built in 1903, kids are the customers. The historic bar is now home to the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park’s Junior Ranger Program, where children and their parents can touch and examine artifacts, dress up as stampeders and shoulder a miner’s pack on their way to earning a Junior Ranger badge.
