Big Nugget of Skagway

Sled Dogs Demonstration: Meet the canine athletes that have run the world-famous Iditarod sled dog race. Hear about the history of this breed, interact with the dogs and watch them in action as a musher hooks the dogs up for a fast practice lap around the track. The next generation of puppies are there for you to cuddle and hold.

Gold Fever: Step back in time with your period-costumed guide, a resident of 1898, as they vividly recreate the challenging life of the 100,000 prospectors caught up in the Gold Rush fever. Feel the allure of gold and experience how to extract paydirt, help sluice it, and assay the results. Learn the art of gold panning with a humorous and educational show. Practice your technique in heated water troughs.
