(Translated by Google) Good opportunity for bear sightings at the fish weir (Original) Gute Möglichkeit auf Bärensichtungen am Fischwehr

I went on this excursion because my friend had this on her bucket list, really didn’t want to go. I was so glad I did! This was hands down THE best excursion I’ve ever been on in all of my cruise travels. The experience was engaging-right from the moment we entered the property. Patrick was informative and a wonderful start to this amazing visit. His relationship with the wolves was mesmerizing. Then you get to meet The Host, Mr. Kroschel. I was blown away by the depth and breadth of his knowledge and by just how much he truly cares. He wears it like the incredible badge of honor it is. His animals are beautifully housed, the area looking as if it were put together by a mad genius-which it was. I was immediately smitten. With all of it. Lock, stock and barrel, as my Gram used to say. The time seemed to be over in a blink and I was sad and reluctant to leave. The connection you felt coming from him; connection to his animals, his surroundings and his guests was laser sharp and awe-inspiring to witness-that’s how I felt-I was witnessing true genius and great heart. I left a grateful woman.

Glacier Bay was as breathtaking as it was 20 years ago, although it appeared smaller this time. My family and I saw the glacier from the Norwegian Sun cruise ship. The Norwegian Sun seemed less grand than I remembered. Specifically, the food and service on the ship were not as impressive. I'm considering trying out Royal Caribbean for my next cruise.

Informa tive displays, friendly helpful staff.

Great place for information about Kluane. It's very clean and the staff were happy to help. There are also many informative exhibits.

Other reviewers here justifiably praise their experience on the flight tours into the icefields of Kluane Park in the shadow of Mt Logan. Many landed at the base camp and enjoyed a short time on the ground to walk about, marvel at the views and take memorable photos. We were two of those who opted to stay for a couple of nights at the camp and experience the majesty of the surroundings for an extended period. Waking up to a sun-bathed ocean of snow surrounded by Mt Logan, Mt Queen Mary and other mountains, as well as numerous nunataks (peaks of smaller mountains poking through the snow) was extremely special. Skiing or snowshoeing to some of the closer features added greatly to the experience. Our leader/guide, Sian Williams single handedly took care of us throughout our time on the icefields, always with a mind to safety and capabilities of all participants. Our experiences on the icefields will be forever engraved in our minds

Rough road leading to a very pleasant surprise: 2025 "Chickenfest"! We did not have tickets, so I did not stay, but it was shaping up to be a good time for those that did.

We thoroughly enjoyed our mill tour with Carson. For it being only his second tour, he was very knowledgeable and didn’t miss a beat! On the mill tour, you get a quick walk and talk about a few buildings, then you go uphill and actually start the mill tour at the top of this 14 story building. Wonderful views out of the windows and a lot of the inside still intact with machinery and all. Well worth the money!

Highly recommend KWG! I did their 1/2 day packrafting trip, and 1/2 day trip to the Root glacier. My guides, Ry, Finley, and Marguerite were all super friendly and made the excursions memorable. I was staying at the Kennicott Wilderness Lodge, so the KWG location could not be beat- literally at the bottom of their steps so a convenient meet up location! Also a special shout out to Katy- she helped me plan and book my few days in McCarthy/Kennicott including transportation, lodging, and excursions with KWG. I was overwhelmed with all the options doing it on my own and could not have done it without her help!

They did such a fantastic job bringing the best of Alaska in full view. Loved the animal displays because most you didn't want a close encounter and at the same time would love to see. They shared great information and tips, including what to do on future trips. The facilities were immaculate, the staff helpful and outgoing. They definitely loved their jobs. In addition to the animal displays they had great artifacts about the cultures and the state's top sport: dog mushing. You definitely want to stop here and get all the inside info they can provide. Outside are some cute photo ops with cutouts that children of all ages can enjoy.

Great visitors center for introduction to the largest National park in the USA. Had excellent displays, theater, clean restrooms, and grounds. 2 different rangers gave talks one about the park overview and mountain peaks and glaciers. The other a talk about the boreal forest and fungi/mushrooms that can be seen there. Nice flat trails for easy walking to see the local plants and trees. Very quiet and beautiful views if you are lucky. We read every display, watched movie and did the trail. Can spend 3 hours there doing all that. Should bring your own food snacks and water. None for purchase. You can refill your water bottles there. Highly recommend.

Views of Worthington Glacier and surrounding Thompson Pass are worth the hike to see them.

Drove by, stopped at pull-out had no idea that was it! No sign or for Goat Trail to hike to top. Beautiful.

Some people we met in Valdez told us about the fish hatchery so we had to go check it out. This was so interesting and such great information as you walk along the visitor walk. It was fun watching the sea lions getting the fish and a great learning experience on how the salmon return to where they were born. This was the first time I had been to a fish Hatchery. There is a nice waterfall right across from the parking area, which was an added bonus.

By far this is the best small town museum I have seen anywhere! Good displays, information and movies about this little city’s very interesting and unique history! Worth the walk from docks. Particularly good was a display of hand built models of Native Alaskan watercraft. See pictures.

Must see if in alaska I took the cruise but the kayaking looked like it would be worth it but make sure to dress warm temp drops fast even if on a cruise

Alaska trip will always be memorable. We started our first excursion with the Matanuska glacier walk. This glacier is over 22,000 years old and we got an amazing experience walking over it with MICA guides. Bailey was our guide. What I loved was that they kept the tour groups small so it was just us 4 with Bailey. She took her time explaining the history behind everything. That’s what we wanted, someone who was not rushed. She explained to us the benefits of the glacial mud. We even brought some of that home 😊 She helped us figure out what's inside a really deep hole created by the flowing water over so many years. It was dangerous to go any closer as we could slip in so we tried recording it using our selfie stick 😂 (spoiler: the stick wasn’t long enough to solve the mystery) But this goes to say that there is a lot of story in every part of the glacier and even though it's fun, it can be dangerous, so go with someone who knows their stuff. We also got to walk between the tall cracks of the glacier. What I couldn’t show was how cold and tasty the fresh water was that we drank directly from the glacier ❄️ All in all a 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend them.

Great experience. We did ice climbing & glacier paddle boarding. 100/10 honestly. Our guide was so awesome with instructions and really made us feel comfortable on the ice. Once in a lifetime type of experience and a great one to check off the bucket list! The lazy river running through the glacier is something I’ll never forget!

Hiked the postage pass trail today and it has to be one of my new favorites. We saw some swans in a lake near the top! Beautiful views that are SO worth the steep hike up!

My husband and I visited the conservation center as part of a Glacier and Wildlife tour. We had an absolute blast. The bears were our favorite and we got some wonderful pictures. I enjoyed seeing animals up close that are normally behind glass at a zoo. I love the conservation efforts for the wood bison as well. We got to see some very new baby bison while we were there. I highly recommend visiting if you're in Alaska.

We started out with a communication issue that almost made us cancel but ultimately it was resolved correctly with the help of a Manager named Michael. We really liked the resort overall. The Black Diamond lounge rivaled the top lounges I have been in around the world and definitely is a leg above the majority of domestic hotel lounges. Spa was excellent. Rooms were very nice. The Bathrooms had clearly been updated but the rooms themselves could use a refresh. The beds however were some of the comfiest I have slept in. Very good rest. I would absolutely stay again if we are in Anchorage

Arrived early and wasn't busy on a Saturday in July. Parking is down the street ~5 minutes walk. Ride in the tram was smooth. Restaurant and museum on the top of the mountain. There is the option to hike down or up, if you want to avoid the $45 ticket. Hike is 2.3 miles and steep in places, but oh so beautiful!

2 adults and we had some free time and this place sounded interesting. We really couldn’t tell if it was aimed at children or adults but took a chance anyway. We had a great time. We got to see a variety of animals and the staff was very helpful. Feeding the reindeer, buffalo, alpaca and moose were loads of fun. There is a section with kid activities we avoided but even their petting zoo area was adult worthy.

We have been to here several times. The tours are 45 to 60 minutes long depending on the weather and the musk oxen. The tour staff have always been delightful and interesting. We recommend, especially in early summer with good weather.

What a fantastic place to find on vacation! We were just looking for a scenic lookout to see the mountains and the road ended into the nature center so we decided to have a look around. The staff inside the center were all super-friendly and took the time to listen to our stories and tell their own and recommended a trail based on what we told them. A quarter mile up the trail from the nature center we came to an overlook looking over the river/marsh and there was a huge bull moose in the water munching away on whatever it could dredge up from the water. The scenery is beautiful (even without the moose). Picturesque mountains, a beaver dam, and lush forests made our hike incredible. Everything was impeccably maintained; the nature center, both boardwalks we encountered, and the trails were all perfect. And then, to top it off, our son accidentally left his favorite sweatshirt behind on one of the boardwalks when we continued our hike. We left and didn't notice it was gone. We came back 4 hours later hoping someone turned it in at the nature center. No one had so I took a quick re-hike to retrace our steps. The sweatshirt was exactly where he had left it; no one had touched it the whole time we were gone. Super-cool place and great views. Would hike again!

Amazing stop. Great history behind this place. Has great views of the hatchers pass and the valley. We'll maintained property and lots of historical artifacts. They had different mining equipments on display and lot of placards to explain how the whole process looked like. We loved the main house and the old pics for comparison showed how it has changed over years. Lots of parking available and Restrooms were in great condition too. There's a gift shop too.

Super cool natural area with a solid and well-groomed trail! We went in early October before sunset, and it was great!

Very cool! Great museum with trophies and stories of the race over the years. The ride with Riley Dyche and the dogs was the highlight for sure… Amazing how much power he was getting out of eight frisky dogs! 😁
