Review:

Housed in what was formerly the historic Cadillac Hotel, the Seattle Unit of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park is located on Second Avenue within the Pioneer Square Historic District.

The Visitor Center contains indoor displays and exhibits. Perhaps it is surprising, but there are no outdoor areas of this park, which makes it different from most of the other National Park Service parks.

The exhibits show visitors how people in the past left everything to travel to the Yukon in search of gold. The park offers summer programs such as gold mining and panning techniques and park movies such as Seattle; Gateway to the Goldfields and Gold Fever; Race to the Klondike.
