Dawson City Visitor Information Centre and Walking Tour

049
    Dawson City hasn’t become a completely pristine tourist town which makes it a pretty cool place to visit – lots of year round locals, falling down buildings, dirt and gravel streets,  and boardwalk sidewalks plus all of the usual touristy restaurants, bars, gift shops, and hotels.

  The visitor center has a few history displays, three short movies (worth watching), and stacks of brochures. Pick up a walking tour map.

   There’s a ramp at the entrance door without a landing at the top. The door opens out so entering is awkward. The displays and movies are all accessible.  The city and the walking tour are very poor for accessibility. The boardwalks have steps or high drops down to the streets. Many of the shops have steps at the entrances. Unless you have help, driving along the walking tour route is probably the best option.

The parking lot is large enough for most RVs plus there are numerous lots and street parking around town. Visitor Center
