Q:
I'm confused... is this National Park mainly an indoor thing or mainly an outdoor thing? My sisters and I don't tolerate heat well, so the question is important, because if we're having a heat wave on the dates we're in Seattle, and the Klondike is mainly outdoors, then we'll probably have to skip it. But if it's mainly indoors, then this would be a good choice during a heatwave. We're all interested in the exhibit, but won't enjoy it if we're physically miserable. Thanks in advance for answers.
