Full Description
It's 1897, and gold rush-era Seattle is bustling with fortune seekers headed to the goldfields!
When errand boy Walter chases a mischievous pup named Dusty onto a steamship bound for the Klondike, he also meets Hal, an old prospector. The trio teams up for a grand adventure—from Seattle's Miners Landing to the icy shores of Alaska to the Golden Horseshoe Saloon to a frozen landscape with promises of riches underground—risking life and limb for a chance at making their fortune. Every miner dreams of gold, but will Walter, Dusty, and Hal be the ones to strike it rich?
About the Historic Site
When a ship bearing two tons of gold from the Klondike docked alongside the site of Pier 57 in 1897, it triggered a gold rush that thrilled the world and led to Seattle's establishment as a world-class city. The historical Minders Landing site, located on Seattle's waterfront, where almost 7 million tourists visit each year, is just steps from the Seattle Aquarium and the Pike Place Market. It is home to one of Seattle's most beloved tourist destinations, the Seattle Great Wheel, which 1 million visitors ride each year. The Great Gold Rush Adventure's audience includes visitors and locals to the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Western Canada, history buffs, and any child who thrills to a great adventure story!
