The 48 best sights in Anchorage

Located in downtown Anchorage, the Anchorage Museum is a large, well-designed museum offering a fascinating look into the rich history and culture of Alaska. With four floors of exhibits, there’s a lot to see and learn here. From the early days of gold mining to the traditions of Alaska Native peoples, to the enduring legacy of dog sledding and mushers, the museum does a great job weaving together the diverse stories that make up Alaska’s identity. You’ll find extensive displays on fishing, agriculture, and Arctic exploration, as well as a variety of art exhibits showcasing both traditional and contemporary works. It’s an ideal place to visit if the weather isn’t cooperating—whether it’s rainy, snowy, or just cold outside. There’s a small café area inside with snacks, drinks, and seating, offering a nice place to take a break. One standout convenience is the underground parking garage, which is climate-controlled and secure—a huge plus during Alaska’s colder months. Plan to spend at least 2–3 hours here, though you could easily spend longer if you’re someone who likes to take it all in. Overall, it’s a great museum experience for visitors of all ages.

Extremely well done exhibits that present the full picture of Alaskan history, especially the native people groups. Great for families as many exhibits are kid friendly and hands on. Don’t miss this if you are in town.

Excellent Museum. It has a lot of everything. Most of all, a lot of Alaskas beautiful history and has its own WW2 section about the Aleutian Island campaign, which my grandfather fought in. He used to box for the Alaska Army boxing team! Bring the kids, there is a lot of interactive activities for them. Every first Friday of the month is free entry after 6 pm.

More than just a cultural museum, there is a nice balance of culture, fine art, and interative physical science and art. We could have stayed for a few more hours but needed to catch a plane home. We were pleasantly surprised by the diverse and well curated collections. The coffee shop is one of the best I have been to inside a museum. I will definitely return when in Anchorage.

A group of musicians were visiting Anchorage for a number of concerts and I was delighted to enjoy hearing a few sets. There was one individual with a short piece and other sets. It was a low cost show too. After the mini concert I saw a display from the Dog room.

The Anchorage Museum is absolutely stunning—clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. It truly has something for everyone, from captivating exhibits to hands-on activities for kids. The displays are beautifully curated, especially the Alaska Native artifacts, which offer a rich and respectful glimpse into the state’s diverse cultures and history. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it's an inspiring place to learn more about what makes Alaska so unique. Highly recommend!

Amazing place! Thoroughly enjoyed everything that I got to see on a quick trip through the area. Wish that I had had more time to explore and to learn. Definitely a great place to explore while in Anchorage.

The museum is small but full of knowledge in an interactive way. I think our favourite part was talking to the crafters in the lobby. Each had wonderful stories about their projects that helped me learn about their lives in the north. We loved chatting with Marg the elder. We also saw different types of lodgings and a traditional dance. That all and Marg best of luck from your two Canadian friend in you wedding.

We had my daughter’s quinceanera here and it was just so amazing. Everyone had such a good time and they opened the back for the quests to walk around. From start to finish the entire staff was amazing and made this a memorable event. The event was such a success we now have people asking about points of contacts and pricing. If you are looking into places to host your special event don’t pass up your opportunity to have it here.

There is a free shuttle from the downtown log cabin. $30 entry and the attendants were very helpful explaining the tools and building as you walk through them. The free shows are nice to watch as well. Plan for around 1.5-2 hrs here.

Had a wonderful time learning about the native culture. It is a great place to learn about the culture and unfortunately what was done to stifle it in the past. The demonstration of the native games and dance was great. The tour of the various types of dwellings that were built across such a wide range of climate and conditions was enlightening. Shout to to Zach our guide who was not only very knowledgeable but super entertaining as well. I highly recommend a stop here.

If you are seriously interested in learning about Alaska, you just visit this center. The gallery about the various people groups is fascinating along with a timeline of settlement of the territories. The hard truths are presented well to make us all think and reflect. There are informative films and demonstrations in the main building that were very educational. I highly recommend taking a guided tour of the various areas so you can learn as much as possible about the various settlements and ways of life.

Awesome cultural experience, they have multiple native experiences such as story telling, songs, and dances by natives, so much info on the local tribes and history. Great place to visit and learn about the real alaska from the people who know best, many local craft options for sale as well.

Our travel agent booked us a tour here on Monday the 12th, but when we arrived, we found out that the center wasn’t open for the season quite yet 😅 … Despite the communication error from our travel agency, Mark (I believe his name was) offered to take us around their exhibits— which was more than generous! We greatly appreciated being able to see the dwellings of each tribe of Alaskan natives along with Mark’s detailed lectures of their history. I highly recommend 👍

We started at Elderberry Park and moved onto the Chester Creek Trail. We went about 8:45am on a Thursday. The tide was out and there were several campers/homeless people near the trail but we felt safe . It’s flat and the trail was a paved surface. There were a few cyclist and a handful of walkers/runners. We thought the Chesters Creek trail was prettier

Favorite relaxed walk in town! It definitely does get a little crowded in the summer on nice days with tourists especially with bike rentals but it’s still a lovely path. You can walk, bike, run, longboard the whole trail or you can pick several spots to enter the trail and get a different experience in each spot. One of the best places to watch the sunset for sure! And sometimes you even get the rare caboose sighting! 🚂

It is a beautiful trail with multiple entrances, but there are way too many mosquitoes. Spotted a moose, which was very cool.

The trail is 11 miles long and runs from Kincaid Park to downtown Anchorage. We walked a little bit of both ends of the trail. We saw 3 different moose, 2 cows and a bull with a full rack, in Kincad Park. The downtown end passes the Westchester Lagoon where we saw an Artic Tern dive bombing for food and a Trumpeter Swan. Beautiful area. Here's what I wish we had known about the trail. Ebikes are available on the north end in downtown but not in Kincaid Park on the south end. We enjoyed our walk but we could have seen the whole trail if we had known where to get bikes.

Nice trail but more for biking than hiking. Walked a couple miles and not great views and too many bikes to be enjoyable. My mistake not knowing more before we headed out. Wouldn't make this a destination if you are in Alaska for a week or two-way better places to spend your time

Loved the trail. Good signs. Decent surface ride on. Seen a moose and calf. Various scenery through woods and shoreline.

Great trail for running and biking. The views are exceptional and the trail is full of trees, which provide shade from the sun.

I’ve always loved this place — not only as somewhere to bring out-of-town guests, but also for a fun day trip with my daughter and her friends. The mission behind the center is truly meaningful, and I really appreciate that the animals are kept in large, natural, and humane enclosures. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and clearly care about the work they do. It’s a wonderful experience every time we visit!

I really want to give this place 5 stars but there were some issues that kept me from doing so. First they had hours posted. I arrived just at opening time and the gates were closed. Myself along with a few other vehicles waited at the gate for about 20 minutes. Finally a car came and told us they would not be opening until 12:30. So I left and came back. Upon coming back I was greeted by a friendly person at the toll booth. I paid my fare and entered. The first thing I noticed were a lot of the exhibits were vacant. Not sure if it was the time of year or if they had lost or removed some of the animals. I watched the crew feed bears and that was great and absolutely the highlight of the trip. In all I would say it took me about 40 minutes to see everything including the 15 minutes or so I spent watching the bear feeding. It was neat but don’t think I’d come back.

The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is an absolute gem! Watching bears roam freely in their natural habitat was breathtaking, and seeing coyotes, caribou, and other native animals up close made the experience unforgettable. The center is beautifully maintained, educational, and truly dedicated to wildlife preservation. A must-visit for anyone exploring Alaska!

Had higher expectations in terms of number of bears and moose we will get to see here but turned out to be not as great as we expected. We thought of the entrance fee as a donation for the care of the amazing animals they have. We did not see a bull moose which was our main goal. We did get see musk ox and lynx which were quite cool.

I did the Walk on the Wild Side tour as a birthday gift to myself, and it was amazing! Ivie was a great, knowledgeable guide who was able to help me spot well hidden animals. Knowing each animals story made the visist even better. Learning about their conservation efforts through the visist gave me more insight as well. AND I got to feed Twix the porcupine! I cannot recommend this center enough. I highly recommend a tour- it gives you so much more insight to how this center is helping not only their animals, but the Wood Bison population in Alaska.

Amazing place to see wildlife up close. Despite the rainy day, everything was very accessible by car, with a few spots where we hopped out for a closer look. Gift shop is really quite nice and had a wide variety of gifts for anyone to find something. Great experience! Will go back!

Very nice visit, the park can be walked as well as driven. Though walking offers a much better chance to see the animals. We were very lucky and saw both black bears within two hours of our arrival. (The walking route when done fully and slower to watch for the animals takes about an hour and 45 minutes).

I don’t know how this state park got anything less than 5 stars but it is definitely worth your time. Accessibility can be the only thing I can think of. The state park is huge and a big portion of it isn’t accessible. The parts that are, are absolutely stunning. Multiple hiking trails, camping areas, picnics, photo opportunities, and scenic views throughout. If you like the outdoors and stunning scenery, this park has what you’re looking for. You can do almost anything here as there are ample hunting and fishing locations. This is a photographers dream! The nature center in Eagle River tops it off as the best state park I e ever been in. I visit here as often as I can.

Chugach State Park is a stunning natural expanse surrounding Anchorage, encompassing over 495,000 acres of rugged mountains, glaciers, alpine lakes, and dense forests. Its proximity to the city makes it both accessible and wild, offering photographers and outdoor enthusiasts a chance to experience Alaska’s dramatic landscapes without venturing deep into remote backcountry. The park’s trails cater to all levels, from short scenic hikes to challenging climbs such as Flattop Mountain, which rewards visitors with sweeping panoramas of Anchorage, Turnagain Arm, and the surrounding Chugach Range. Lakes and rivers throughout the park provide reflections of snow-capped peaks, creating spectacular compositions for landscape photography. Wildlife abounds, including moose, bears, eagles, and mountain goats, giving photographers opportunities for wildlife shots in a natural setting. Seasonal changes dramatically transform the park: winter blankets the peaks and trails in snow, summer brings vibrant wildflowers and verdant forests, and autumn paints the valleys in rich golds and reds. Chugach State Park is a perfect blend of accessibility, rugged wilderness, and photographic potential, making it an essential destination for capturing the essence of Alaska’s majestic beauty.

Beautiful state park right next to Anchorage! The valleys and mountains are impressive in size and easy to navigate!!! Plenty of parking and easy to pay!

Went wild blueberry picking here and it was terrific! Lots of blueberries 🫐 everywhere! Such a beautiful area. Easy to get to and accessable paths to different areas so you can spread out and enjoy larges spaces to pick blueberries. We came late in the season and there was still plenty to be picked.

Went to the Glen Alps trailhead for the viewing - spectacular! I understand that Denali might be viewed, under the right conditions. Not so for me, but I had a great view of the volcanoes to the west.

This park is one of the largest, I believe, in the country. We drove along the Seward Highway viewing beautiful country with high majestic mts some glaciated. There's so much water in Alaska, it's wonderful.

The Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet south of Anchorage is one of the most spectacular places to visit on a sunny day that I have ever visited. It is about thirty miles of each vista being better than the last. Fortunately, there are lots of turnouts where you can stop to take photos. There aren't many other amenities, at least along the road. There are a couple of gas stations near Girdwood and Girdwood is worth a stop.

For Alaska, The Alaska Zoo is a good stop to go if you are visiting or if you have kids here in Alaska. A fun time indeed seeing the animals and if you plan right see many attractions that they have going on. We got to watch zookeepers feed some animals just because we were there at the right time! We took our time with older kids and finished in about 2 hours to see all the exhibits. Hope you get to see the Polar Bears we didn’t 😉 The brown bears exhibit makes up for that and so much more. Posted as much as allowed! I mentioned zookeepers, any staff for that matter is kind and great here. All a big plus!!

During our visit to Anchorage in July, we stopped in. Very clean, reasonably priced and a chance to see Alaska wildlife, much different from our Florida zoos. We arrived at 9am during a weekday, it was not crowded, and the weather was perfect. The zoo has well maintained grounds. My grandkids enjoyed it as well. While in Anchorage, it's worth the visit.

I had a great time at the Alaska Zoo! We were able to see polar bears before they went back inside. The zoo was very green and had a lot of signage throughout. The only issue I had was with a lady allowing her 2 kids to pace the wolf enclosure, making the wolves stressed out and bite each other. I saw a sign at the ox enclosure which said “do not encourage me” and I think this may be needed with the wolf enclosure as well as they get encouraged to pace the fence with kids easily. Again, loved all I saw here! It was worth the stop during my first trip to Anchorage!

A small zoo , easy to walk around & every exhibit set up to easily view each animal. I hope to see the exhibits renovated into larger living spaces for the animals similar to The Tiger & wolves enclosure . Overall we enjoyed our time .

I would totally recommend the Alaska zoo if you are in Anchorage. We took advantage of late sunset and entered the gates around 4:30PM and spent our time exploring until close. We were surprised to see animals active and moving after hours. Unfortunately couldn’t spot the polar bear but loved the otters, and harbor seal exhibit around there. The musk ox (male) seemed quite aggressive due to the mating season, beware. We saw many animals such as fox, wolves, lynx, tiger, black bears, deers, grizzlies, snow leopards and other birds like bald eagle, swans too. There were less crowds, and almost had the zoo to ourselves on a weekday. Totally recommend it to all! Plenty of parking available. Tickets can be purchased onsite!

Second time here, this time in summer, much better than the dead of winter! Very friendly staff, don't forget to ask for the senior discount - only $16/day - so ma y wonderful animals, the kids loved it. Nice gift shop with very helpful cashier. Plenty of parking and restrooms. Only suggestion is to put more signs to direct people to the main attractions besides the polar bears. Also Exit arrow signs would be helpful when trying to navigate through the park when the Gkids have seen enough....LOL.

Given the size of Alaska and ample space for parking, I was shocked how small the animal enclosures were. Aside from the polar bear habitat, everything else seemed rather small and rather basic with mostly children’s playground and other plastic toys. Sadly for me, Anchorage zoo was a let down. Due to a private encounter, the polar bears weren’t visible until the very end of our visit — so make sure to check schedules before entering if you’re hoping to get a look at these beautiful animals.

Kincaid Park is one of the best places in Anchorage! Beautiful trails, amazing views of Cook Inlet and the mountains, and even chances to see moose and eagles. It’s peaceful, clean, and perfect for hiking, biking, or just enjoying nature. Sunset here is absolutely stunning!

I came here to see moose and did not fail! We walked a trail 10/15 minutes and saw a male moose enjoying lunch! Free parking and entry was a huge plus. We parked near clean restrooms. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful area with lots of trails for hikers and cyclists, some fully tarmacked. Some trails lead to the beach area with great views (see picture). Many of the trails pass through dense areas of trees and the other vegetation. Please stay aware in case of bears, and particularly moose, as we saw two in under 3 miles of hiking, only perhaps 30 metres off the trail (spot the young bull in my photo).

Huge park got an amazing history in it. The view of the coastline was amazing. Many different trail and ski line Beaware of the closing time, or else you will be lock down like i do.

We enjoyed the hike here with a great view. It took us about 30 mins one way to the beach. Many people bike there. It's a great place to spend a few hours in an afternoon.

He’s a very nice Park very big and with tons of activities for everybody kids and adults. He’s a great place for biking, walking and running or even skiing in the winter and rollerblading.

I had heard this was the best place to go to see a moose so it was our first stop once we were in Anchorage. And we were lucky enough to see a bull moose! We also visited again on our last day in Anchorage and saw a black bear.

Its ships creek! Where else can you catch salmon right in town. Just be mindful of the homeless in the area

It’s such a great place to not only take in the views but also to catch ( or try at least) fish without even leaving town

Went here because it’s salmon season. Saw a lonely fisherman and not only a single fish…

I have been fishing this creek every summer for the last 10 years. I love it! 5 minutes from work. 10 minutes from home. Over the years I have learned how to ease myself into the crowd at the popular spots and when/where else to go when the crowd is too dense. Beside a few inconsiderate actors every now and then, the creek provides the best place to catch king salmon, silver salmon, and a lot of pinks in a city. It's nice to always have a crowd fishing the creek. It's saddening to see people trashing the place as well....

Good place for king salmon

A great spot to hit up for a quick break from the daily grind. Now if I could just land me a king!

There's a fairly short walking/bicycle trail beside the creek that is cool to view Salmon who are traveling upstream. Use caution as Bears have been seen near this creek catching fish.

Nice air museum. They do a nice feature on Alaska's part and battle in WWII. There is some focus on flying in the tough terrain and weather. There is a more modern Boeing you can walk inside of. There is also a watch tower you can view the lake and watch sea plans land & take off. The museum is not very big but has interesting exhibits to offer. Its price appropriately. Proximity to the airport makes it a great stop before your flight. Overall I would recommend.

Great museum, highly recommended! Three large hangers and an outside lot packed with aircraft and appurtenances with so much information. Fun for the whole family, ages 5 - 85, we all had a great time! Special shout out to Angie for taking great care of us, providing a wheelchair for grandpa and helping us find perfect souvenirs, thank you!

Fascinating museum covering many aspects of Alaska’s rich aviation history. Artifacts on display from the earliest days of Alaska aviation, Alaska’s role in WWII, civil, commercial and military aviation. Highly recommended.

Great little museum. Definitely kid friendly with multiple thinks and places for kids to play or be hands on and clear boundaries for what is not hands on or for play. Great way to spend some time as a family.

The annual fly over event on Saturday, June 29, 2025 was a very warm and beautiful day to be outside.

Awesome little museum! You can see all kinds of older airplanes and learn so much about aviation history. At the end of all the hangars, you can climb up a viewing tower and watch seaplanes take off and land right from the lake. We spent about 2 hours there and I could have easily stayed longer and read more of the info. Only thing I would change is a better labeling and titling of the written information, as it wasn't always clear how things were grouped together.

Unbelievable amount of super amazing artifacts. Great attention to the aviation battles of the Aleutian Islands in WWII, which I was not aware of. Super great staff and curation. I really didn’t know what to expect, but I walked away very satisfied. They even fired up a vintage float plane and got it airborne from Lake Hood, right behind the museum! How cool is that?!? Such a great experience. Highly recommend!

This lake is a special place! Visited here recently and all I can say is WOW! I've visited Crater Lake in Oregon, and I can say that this lake is much more special than Crater Lake! It is quiet and the awesome part is it is off of the highway, and the noise level is next to none. I highly recommend coming to visit this lake! It's the best lake I've ever visited!

Eklutna lake was amazing, we ended up only walking for about 8 miles total, but there was so much more to explore! They have bike and kayak rentals. Some parts of the trail have been effected by erosion, so be careful close to the edge of the trail closest to the water. We didn’t see any big wildlife but saw a huge bear paw print in some fresh mud!

This was an amazing kayaking trip. The views are beautiful and breathtaking. It is so relaxing to sit in the middle of the lake and listen to nature.

Wow ..what an excellent place.. very calm and peaceful. Great place to spend your leisure. There are many trails available around the area. An excellent campground is available nearby.

It was my first time there yesterday and had a blast! It was so peaceful and relaxing. I loved spending half the day there and with no cell service was nice and you didn't have to worry about the distraction of the phone.

This is a hidden gem, with very calm and peaceful lake covered by mountains. Great for Kayaking.

Breathtaking beauty at this park. We've done some short hikes and the fall colors are incredible. The campsites are well taken care of and secluded from each other pretty well. @apogeeadventure

Beautiful garden that has great scenery and tons to do and learn. Christmas is the time to go!! Visit when they have the lights set up. It’s a walking tour so wheelchairs and strollers can be a little tough to get around in with ice and snow. There is a building with a bathroom.

I think honestly I would have to give the botanical gardens a 4.5 we enjoyed it very much. Couldn't have picked a nicer day weather wise to visit the gardens. The check-in was simple reasonably priced friendly attendant even to the point of suggesting some bug spray which worked wonderfully and my girlfriend adores. The loop Trails through the garden are short but filled with a variety of plant life the displays are interesting. The garden staff was more than friendly and informative if you have the time when Anchorage a visit to the botanical gardens should definitely be on your to-do list.. we certainly enjoyed ours

My boyfriend and I went for the Halloween setup. It was a cute and short walk; some of the creatures and insects were creatively made. They even had eyeballs on all the trees. I would like to see it in the spring

I came here by myself and spent 3.5 hours I could have spent all days here taking photos of and admiring all the beautiful flowers. There are trails where you can go further into the woods. The Botanical Garden has a little teal locker room at the admission desk with colored pencils, sharpener and white sketch pad that you can borrow to draw your favorite flowers! I wish I could have showed up earlier to have enough time to see it all. Amazing place.

We had so much fun traversing around this garden! It was a good price, educational, and beautiful. The staff are very friendly and it’s a very well taken care of facility. The hike along the outskirts is fun as well.

My dad and I spent a quiet afternoon exploring the gardens. The variety of flowers in bloom in early August was lovely. Can visit the entire garden and 1- mile walking loop within 1-2 hrs.

Good neat place in the heart of Alaska. They do have discounts for students and military which was nice - 10$ entrance fee. Good to see some of the rare plants growing in such climate. Safe 1 mile trail. The trail smelt so great, makes it pleasant to hike it.

Oscar Anderson house Museum is located to Jason to Elderberry park and offers majestic views of the surrounding bay. The home was constructed in 1915 and is meticulously maintained. No attention to detail was spared!. Great experience overall. I highly recommend.

The wonderful lady giving the tour was very knowledgeable. She walked us through the whole house, which was build for one of the first families in Anchorage. She answered all my children's endless questions. I brought 4 children ages 13-7 and they all enjoyed seeing the historical items and learning about early Anchorage.

This place is a hidden gem of Anchorage & great place to visit. There are lots of antiques & heirlooms from the Anderson family that are all out in the open to view as opposed to most museums that have a wall plexiglass as a barrier. I highly recommend the guided tour with Amy who is so nice about answering questions, but also very knowledgeable about everything in the house. The guided tour can be booked on line via email. As a side note, the house is located in Elderberry Park that is by the coastal trail. So we had a lovely afternoon as we did the the Anderson house, rented bikes & had some tacos at food cart close by.....

Our guide Amy was very knowledgeable and we really appreciated learning about the history of the house and Oscar! We stumbled upon this house while out walking and made a note to come back when it was open. We purchased tickets online day-of and had no issues. Great indoor activity to escape the rain!

We are visiting from az. Found the place on Google. I didn't know what to expect other than just walking around a historical house. I love the tour, Amy was excellent explaining all the history of the house. She was friendly and her way of talking let us feel like we live back then. The house is beautiful and very simple. I highly recommend to visit it.

Delightful home and museum that tells the history of not only the Anderson family but of early Anchorage as well. Got tickets online the morning of and had no issues joining the tour. Docent Amy was very knowledgeable about the home and history of early Anchorage.

Built in the 1950s this quaint little house was probably pretty large for the day. I encourage you to make an appointment to visit this home and let the tour guide give you all the details. It brings back a lot of memories for some people who say this is just like my grandparents house. So take a trip down memory lane and stop by for a visit next time you are nearby.

One of my favorite trails in the Anchorage bowl! Fun in all conditions. Rocks up high are slippery when wet. Know your abilities and be prepared for weather to come in. Well marked trail but the parking lot can fill up on sunny days.

Flat top Mountain is a short drive from downtown Anchorage and offers majestic views of the city and surrounding landscape. Absolutely breathtaking views. Definitely not too difficult of a trek when you’re up there. Good atmosphere overall. Parking is five dollars. There are public restrooms as well as benches throughout the park. Great place overall. I recommend.

Amazing experience loved the climbing part, fresh nature, and breathtaking view. 11/10 would completely recommend.

I wouldn’t take kids on the second half of this mountain trail. The trails aren’t really marked, it’s well worn and we ended up scrambling on our descent from the peak.

So easy to get to from downtown Anchorage makes it easy to fit this in if you only have a couple hours. Lots of trails for longer excursions. Plenty accessible for those not interested in real hiking or with mobility issues. Worth the trip for sure!

Amazing view of the surrounding mountains and city of Anchorage. On a sunny day, you can see Denali that is 143 miles away with a good binoculars. We hiked in early June and some portion of the trail are still covered by snow.

Gorgeous views! Great place for sunsets!

It's a beautiful location. People go out there to take pictures of sunsets all the time. The pictures I post here will not be Earthquake Park but just the next parking lot down the road. There are plenty of places to park

Mr. Moose was waiting at the entrance when we arrived! It was our last day in Alaska and we were on the way to the airport. It was also our last hope to see a moose in the wild. How lucky we were! He was about 20 feet away from us, munching away and hanging around. The best time and the perfect day.

Earthquake Park gives visitors insight into one of the pivotal moments in Alaska history: the 1964 Earthquake. The quake on March 27 – Good Friday – measured 9.2 in magnitude and was the largest quake ever recorded in North America. This is a great place to visit. There are plenty of walking and biking trails as well as free parking. There is a monument commemorating the 1964 earthquake as well as informational plaques in the park. It overlooks the water and offers beautiful, majestic views. A great place to visit. A must if you’re visiting Anchorage.

This is a free public park monumenting the great earthquake of 1964 in Anchorage. After a half century you can still see how the area changed. Easy paved walking paths, also part of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. You will see locals running, biking, and walking thru here. It's an interesting point of interest. There's a parking lot at the trail head with ample parking. There are no restrooms facilities here. This area is beautiful and peaceful.

Here you can see what it means when our planet shakes for 4+ minutes- and the soil liquifies underneath ones house. OMG. Even today, 2025, how bad it slid is still easily seen from the tour bus. One no longer needs to get out of the bus. However, if you do- check out the picks- so worth it.

Great walk in the park and nature. You can look back in time and see how the surface of the earth rolled during the great earthquake of 1964. Eye opening and thank goodness I was not there at that moment. You’ll be educated too as you walk along and pass different stations.

Nice park to take a walk or a bike ride. It also has many reminders and information about the Good Friday earthquake. Its a nice stop that will not take much of your time.

What an absolutely beautiful little Nature Center. Enjoy the manicure Trail. At the time of our visit the longer path was closed due to bear activity and the Salmon Run. The Beaver Pond The Overlook. The interesting Visitor Center made for a great visit. They have a few different hiking trails you can walk. The trails and very well marked making planing your hike a breeze. We really enjoyed our visit to the Eagle River Nature Center

Visitors - add this to your list! Beautiful and serene. The trails are easy to navigate as signs are clearly marked. Locals - this is a wonderful place to take a break and enjoy the quiet environment. *images are late September

I love this nature center! It’s a great place to walk your dog and bask in the sun while enjoying some fresh air and great views. The trails are constantly updated and maintained.

This place is a great destination for outdoor lovers, wildlife viewers, adventure seekers, hikers, campers, or even dog mushers. Small fee to park or you can buy the annual pass. Small animal exhibit inside with some souvenirs and snacks. Take the trails that lead you into the nature center but bring bear bells, bear spray, and a 10mm or higher. During the salmon runs you can run into brown bears. Be sure to check the recent bear activity signs before heading in. They update the signs for trail closures as well. The staff love their jobs and are very friendly. There are tons of programs for kids and lots of events here. Don’t miss out!

Eagle River Nature Center was a fun hike. We wanted to do Albert Loop and Rodak Trail but these were closed because of the Salmon and Bear. The one trail open was Iditarod which led down to Rapids Campsite and a peek at the water. At this point there is a small hidden path up to a bench and lookout with 360 degree view.

Great hiking and there was enough parking for our group. Very easy paths for kids and families with nice views of the river and surrounding mountains

Great nature center and easy hiking trails north of Anchorage. Stopped here on the way back from Denali and really enjoyed the views

I did the deluxe tour and it was a great experience. Ace was my tour guide and he had a lot of knowledge about the area as well as the history of the area. It was enjoyable to learn about the history and fun facts about Anchorage. Highly recommend doing the deluxe tour over the one hour tour that's offered.

This was a great way to explore Anchorage while my grandsons were in school. It was a little misty, soft rain that morning, but we had squeegee’s for our windows and the operator was wonderful. I was just visiting this time and I learned a lot more than I thought I would about Anchorage. Our guide knew exactly what to say. Had a wonderful speaking voice and quite informed. Thank you for making my day.

When in Anchorage you must do this one hour ride. They have two options- the one hour or the 1.5-2 hour ride. I recommend the one hour ride. It is VERY informative, fun and you get to know Anchorage a lot more. The history of the earthquake, how the name came about, the undergrund house, the high school with the history, etc. A fun way to see Anchorage and know about its history, totally a must do!!!

Very informational, fun tour for the entire family. Our guide was super friendly. You get to learn about the history of Anchorage, 1964 earthquake, Moose calls, etc. Highly recommend it. You don’t walk at the places with $25 ticket. If you are interested in longer version of this tour, it would cost you $50. So, plan and book appropriately.

I enjoyed the tour and what I learned about the City of Anchorage. I might have opted for the two hour tour if I would have had the time! Our driver/guide was wonderful; the perfect amount of wisdom and wit! The trolley itself was comfortable, very clean and safe. There was only one brief stop for photos - so check to see if the two hours allows for more photo stops. As a travel designer it’s important that I experience tours of this nature. Happy to share that this tour provides a quick, informative and interesting perspective on Anchorage and one you are sure to enjoy.

The one hour tour is great value! My friends who did it shared interesting facts with me that weren't mentioned on my tour and they got to see moose! However, I did the Deluxe Tour since there would be more time for taking photos. I'm not sure it was worth twice the cost overall. I was sad to not see any moose. Nice to know that restrooms/portapotties were available at most stops. Tips: Mondays are slow days for watching seaplanes/float planes. Weekends are best. Mosquitos love Earthquake Park.

Ace was a wonderful tour guide and we enjoyed our tour immensely. He volunteered to take pictures for us at every stop. He told great stories of the history and all the locals. We enjoyed watching the fishermen from the bridge and being able to kind of see Mt McKinley in the distance and all the other stops!

We went there this summer and it was a perfect activity to do with the family. Parking was easy, not too congested at all. The condition of the walkway was well-maintained and we were able to stop along the way for a lot of photo opportunities. We even ran into a bird watching couple that helped us locate a bald eagle's nest using the built-in magnifying viewers. It's best to go on a clear day so you can get views on the mountain range as a gorgeous backdrop for your photos. Also bring your reading glasses because there are a fair amount of educational signage.

What a gem!! This was such an easy walk through beautiful scenery! We saw all sorts of birds and animals - totally worth a stop for a lovely walk.

Kingfishers! Crossed the country to get the best Kingfisher shots of my life. They sat still. Nice boardwalk.

Lovely little boardwalk! Great place for a quiet view of wildlife (there’s a busy highway near one side of the boardwalk but you just learn to ignore the noise).

For an easy walk and beautiful scenery, this is a great place to walk. Very family friendly.

Our favorite places is in Anchorage!

we love potter marsh! it is such a nice place to view nature. we saw a variety of birds including bald eagles, a variety of ducks, other shore birds, and a pair of sand Hill cranes. it is easy to walk there.

The visitors centre was just a block from our hotel. Very nicely setup as a log cabin with many Alaska wildflowers planted all around. I loved the signpost on the outside telling me how far it was to far off and remote destinations. Very helpful staff inside.

Great place to get questions answered about the city and things to do. The best parts were the seating area by the fireplace, a little toasty for this summer day, and the postcards they would postage and send for you for FREE! We sent a couple to friends and family back home, so make sure you have some addresses handy.

This was a very nice tour of some of the spots one might not think of in Alaska. Especially the details about the history and also current events happening in Anchorage. The guide was very informative and willing to answer all questions offered by us passengers. My husband and I had trouble sitting together because we got on the trolley late and a pair traveling together did not want to sit together. However, this was no fault of the Trolley company.

Beautiful and helpful Visit to this visitor center located in the middle of the city. Maps et and orher infos van be given to enjoy the city.

The ladies were very honest and helpful to schedule our days activities. If you’re new to town, or getting off the cruise ship, stop in here first. It is also the pickup spot for the trolley tours.

Worth the visit. People are knowledgeable. They have lots of maps. And you can mail free two postcards anywhere in America. The trolley tour pickup is right outside the door. The Federal building is across the street and lots of souvenir shops nearby. Try the Mai Tai restaurant down two blocks.

Great place! Everyone was extremely friendly, nice and helpful. They had a lot of information on Anchorage and the interesting spots of the city. The also held my and my partner’s lugagge while we did some tours after our cruise and before our flight back home. Amazing experience! (For those who don’t know, you can also get the touristic trolley and the free shuttle to the Alaska Native Heritage Center from this place)

It is a beautiful place. It is very well maintained with a nice broadwalk. It is very close to Anchorage on Seward Highway and easy to access. We spotted Male bald eagle protecting it Nest, an Article Tern and Black-billed Magpie. Listening to birds and identifying sounds was fun too. Tip- carry binoculars with you.

Excellent boardwalk. Noise of the highway can be deafening but some birds don't seem to mind. Chance to see bear and moose and spawning salmon. No dogs or pets allowed on boardwalk.

Potter Marsh is a perfect place to visit if you don’t want to travel too far from the city for a spectacular scenery. This boardwalk is build over the Marsh land and can provide the sight of wide variety of bird species on your walk. We saw several salmon that were swimming upstream into the creek for spawning. I would totally recommend this place to all. Restrooms available. Plenty of parking. Follow the trail and leave no trace.

Beautiful scenery and excellent bird viewing spot! Very clean and well kept. Nice wide boardwalk pathways.

Just off the highway this boardwalk is great for bird watching and wildlife viewing. The interpretive signs along the way tell the story of what you can see and its history. No parking fee required.

Stunning views! Tons of information to learn and discover. The ducks were my favorite! 🦆🦆🦆

Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed walking the boardwalk

This is an excellent and free resource in Anchorage I would highly recommend you give it a look while in the area. Be aware you need to enter through security screening since this is a federal building but once you do you hve access to Rangers, beautiful wildlife displays, live webcames of bears in Katmai National Park, and a theatre showing rotating films and in our case a live discussion of Magpies with a rescue animal. There is also a gift shop and clean restrooms.

This is a must stop for Alaska information center/visitor center. This is a federal building, you must go through same procedure as all secure building, metal detectors, no knives or weapons. Once you get in the park ranger who facilitated gift shop also operate theatre will greet you. There are tons of info about each section of Alaska and wild life. it’s a self guided tour. It’s very cool to be in the historic building. It used to be post office before. There is a big section of how important ithis building is to anchorage. Unfortunately, around the building, there is no free parking available, only pay parking on the street.

Federal building so had to go through a metal detector but was very fast and no problem. A small free museum with lots of great info about the area and wildlife, free historical films, and a national park service ranger was there to answer questions and give information. It is across the street from where you can pick up the trolley if you want to do that. The museum is an easy walk from the captain cook hotel.

Awesome free museum. Ranger very knowledgeable about all the parks. Ranger very friendly and great with kids doing junior ranger activities.

super interactive and informative exhibition. They had a tent outside showing and explaining the difference between different types of bears, which is so cool. The theater is very nice. The gift shop also has cool souvenirs.

We had a great time at the Museum. Went on September 4th to learn more about Alaska's wildlife and wild places. Staff helped us get a great introduction to Anchorage and made some good recommendations. Everyone was fanatic and it was a great facility.

Some ok displays but nothing mind blowing. A pretty small area considering the building size. I did not attend the video screening, perhaps that was a highlight. You will be screened for weapons upon entry so leave them in your car.

Good view of the Cook Inlet. Plaques describe the significance of this point. Stroll over to it if you’re in the area.

Not much to see in this park. Captain Cook statue is about the only thing to mention, along with Cook inlet.

Stopped by after this was pointed out during a trolley tour. It has the Captain Cook monument that overlooks Cook Inlet. It's a small area, but has good information about Captain Cook and his explorations. Provided a nice view of Cook Inlet.

Neat little park with the statue of Captain Cook. I would definitely recommend reading the native Alaskan names for the local landmarks. They are very interesting.

Beautiful Park area with a wonderful view. Great place to just enjoy the views around it.

I like this platform park. It's on a serious slope but the designers reinforced it with steel and sturdy wood to hold up Captain Cook statue and any visitors. The wooden platform turns a circular path for all people, including the elderly and the people confined to wheelchair mobility to access. The sunset is gorgeous over the Knik Arm and the mudflat from this perspective. A few hundred feet away are eateries and pubs. I recommend a visit.

Excellent place to go view a sunset, easy parking on Sunday don't know about other days. The flower pots were perfect to add some color.

We stopped here in Eklutna will in Alaska. I've been here many time even when younger much younger. The place as aged and so have a lot of houses over the graves. The front grave sites have seen better days but keep walking through and you'll see newer houses. It's a great little historical sight just off the Glen Highway in Eklutna. It's free so that good but donate to help out, there is a collection station. Will I go back? Of course just don't know when.

visited early morning after a hike at thunderbird falls. we were the only living souls present. super cool place to stop, walk around, honor the dead. wish it was more taken care of, it was overgrown and a lot of the spirit houses were decaying. still beautiful and moving to witness.

Cool place to visit even just for a few minutes. Its interesting walking around seeing all the different grave covering constructions and memories to others loved ones.

This is a really unusual and unique little place, initially it appears completely abandoned but there are some people still living in the area and a number of the graves are recent. It’s a quick excursion but it’s worth taking the time to visit if you happen to be in the area.

We loved this tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Eastern Orthodox church. He obviously has a lot of pride in this church and cemetery. The spirit houses were something I had never heard of and his excitement transferred to us when he was talking about several of the houses in this cemetery. I would recommend this tour to anyone. We even brought of 6 year old granddaughter with us and she enjoyed the experience as well.

We mistakenly went to the "active" church instead of the historical one right beside, but the parishioners and priest inside had just finished services and were eager to talk so it worked out. Wish we could have stayed longer. I enjoyed learning about the church and the history. Super nice people! Be respectful of the spirit houses, as it is a cemetery, and do leave a donation in the box to help with upkeep. $5 a person is recommended.

We stopped at the Eklutna Historical Park and were so glad we did. It’s a beautiful and peaceful spot with a rich cultural history. The colorful spirit houses make it a truly unique and thoughtful place to visit. Very easy to access — just a quick stop off the highway, but well worth the time. Highly recommend if you’re passing through the area.

Neat pull off on the Seward highway. Occasionally you can see marine wildlife in the turnagain arm or goats on the cliffs of the mountains. It offers great views of the mountains. You will need to walk around and go across the train tracks to get the better views. There are steep inclines so it isn’t entirely safe for small children. The views are vastly different from summer to winter.

Stopped at Beluga Point, great views of the mountain range across the water. Behind you can sometimes see sheep/goats (we did not). Good spot for some selfies too. It is a pull off paved parking spot and we stopped during the week so it was not busy.

Beluga Point is an absolutely beautiful scenic viewpoint located along the Seward Highway, offering stunning views of Turnagain Arm and the surrounding Chugach Mountains. Is located about 25 minutes from downtown Anchorage, Alaska and is a popular spot for wildlife viewing, particularly for beluga whales, which can often be seen swimming in the waters below. Absolutely breathtaking views from this area. There are binoculars available as well as an information plaque about beluga whales. Parking is free. There are no park benches or picnic tables here. Definitely worth stopping and taking pictures and videos. This point highlights the beauty of the Alaska coast and landscape.

Sunrise and sunset is when you want to be here! Beautiful, breathtaking, unforgettable ❤️!!! When looking for the whales 🐋 watch for something floating on the water but not going with the flow. Be patient 🙏 and you will see them break the water. I am pretty sure they sleep in this area at night and go further out during the day. Make sure you schedule the whole day just taking it all in. It is just a 30ish mile stretch but the hours quickly slip by. And please put your phone down for once and dont look at the scenery through the lense. Be in the moment. Breathe the air, feel the sun, smell the ocean, see the world, remember the moment!

Such a beautiful stop along Seward Highway! Not far from Anchorage. The views are breathtaking and there are places to walk along the rocks and near the water. Perfect place to get some really great photos!

Simply amazing and beautiful location. The views are jawdroping. The most convenient for all drivers going there is the fact that you can park in miltiple areas along the highway 🛣 . The Beluga point also has parts where drivers can read what is about that point. Very recommended 👌

One of my favorite places to go just right out of town. Lots of places you can hike around this area. But you need to go to the opposite side of Beluga to get into the hiking and climbing. Some of the most amazing views are in this area and it's literally just 15 minutes outside of Anchorage. I highly recommend!

Boy did I want to like this place but their hot cocoa was atrocious! I've heard good things about their coffee, but I don't do that so the hot chocolate had to suffice at the grading scale. Barely any flavor and no creaminess. Luckily, the atmosphere and staff brought it up to an above average rating.

This coffee shop has a warm, inviting ambience that makes it the perfect place to linger, whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment with a book. The people behind the counter are genuinely friendly and seem to take pride in every cup they serve, adding to the overall charm of the place. While the menu offers a variety of great options, the standout is definitely their Kaladi coffee—a rich, aromatic brew that’s an absolute must-try for any coffee lover.

Loved it so much, came here 3 times while visiting Anchorage for the weekend! There special this month was the pistachio puff, so delicious! And the views were amazing!

This is a good spot to have a small meeting or spend time with a friend. Spacious enough with many tables and seating options. I was there for a meet and greet business meeting. The service was a little slow in my opinion and besides the cashier the baristas were grumpy. I am sure it was a long morning as it was noon when I was there. This kept me from giving the full 5 stars. The americano I ordered was good! Kaladi coffee drinks typically are and so is this location.

Oat milk hazelnut nut latte was the bomb! Such a nice vibe atmosphere place… I also did some reading to help pass the time.. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again, whenever I’m in Anchorage! Bravo !

The latte is very smooth! Really enjoyed it. The menu was not posted online so it took me a moment to scan the items in line before ordering. Also, the flavor list was posted after ordering. Prices were not posted for their water bottles either and I felt too rushed to ask about it. But overall, very happy with the coffee

It is a nice coffee shop with a great view of the mountains. Inside has the feeling of a nice coffee shop with some art on the walls and a coffee bar with bakery and food items located there as well. The cashier and cook didn't have the best of customer service mannerisms but they still did their job and got the coffee and burrito I had ordered out to me. Still I would recommend making a stop here and getting some coffee and enjoy the mountain views.

Went on the Glacier Discovery tour. Unfortunately, we had to skip the glacier landing due to weathers, but we still had an incredible time. I had seen multiple hanging glaciers and glacier faces before via boat or hiking, but this helicopter tour allowed me to experience how colossal and striking glaciers can be. I’d highly recommend this operator to anyone. Every single one of the staff was super nice, kind, and helpful. The reservation team worked with my schedule to arrange a last minute tour and transfer. Kris picked us up from Anchorage and told us many interesting tales about Alaska and his life. And Jonathan, our pilot/guide was awesome! He ensured we saw great views and made sure we returned safely despite all the turbulence. He also helped us spot the trifecta of brown bears, moose, and goats in the wild, which was a pleasant surprise. And it’s always a good sight when your guide is as excited about the scenery as you are. Jonathan absolutely made the trip wonderful and enjoyable despite all the winds and turbulence.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such an amazing experience with Alpine Air Alaska! The helicopter ride itself was smooth and exciting, and the views were absolutely breathtaking — glaciers, mountains, and endless Alaskan scenery that you just can’t capture in photos. The highlight of the trip was spotting bears from above, which made the adventure even more unforgettable. The whole experience was both thrilling and peaceful at the same time. If you’re visiting Alaska and want something truly special, I can’t recommend Alpine Air Alaska enough. It was one of the most fun and memorable things we did on our trip!

The trip was amazing!!! It was my first time in a helicopter, but the staff and the pilot made me feel so comfortable and welcome. They also were able to accommodate me as a single traveler, which I greatly appreciated. The flight gave incredible views of the glacier and the surrounding landscape, and getting to land on and explore the glacier was so, so cool. I learned a lot about glaciers and got some AMAZING pictures, and got to try some glacier water. I would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone!!!!

Quite Possibly one of the top 2 excursions we took on our Alaska Adventure. The Helicopter trip - while short - was a fantastic trip. The Pilot was chatty - Flight was smooth - 5-stars for this segment. Then we experienced the Sled Dog Team and got to go mushing. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Can't recommend enough. The staff was incredible, the dogs were so fun and interesting and then the mushing on a Glacier - absolutely more than we could have asked or imagined. EVERYONE was incredible. Can't thank the staff enough for their attention to details and taking care of our needs so well. We felt spoiled from the first step into the office - to the first steps on the glacier - to the return trip. This was truly a 5+ STAR Experience. Thank you Alpine Air. Simply Outstanding. Kendal & Sherri from South Carolina.

I highly recommend Alpine Air Alaska. We booked a beautiful tour of the glaciers and were in awe of the beauty of Alaska that you can only experience in the air. The office staff was very kind in preparing us for the experience. Our pilot, Ryan, is an exceptional pilot which made the ride very smooth and fun; furthermore he was very knowledgeable in every aspect of our tour. It was "pretty cool".

We booked Alpine Air for a glacier elopement and were so happy with the results! Since we had two separate helicopters the staff worked with us to keep my husband and I separate so that we could do our first look out at the glacier. Their pilots were also wonderful! They worked well with our photographers to find the perfect spot for the ceremony, took us to a second location for more photos, and even picked me a bouquet of wildflowers since I forgot my flowers! Truly great service!

I can 100% say that this is a MUST do tour in Valdez. You are able to get the most in depth perspective of the glaciers and absolutely stunning views. This was by far the most breathtaking excursion I've ever been on. Marco and Marcos are amazing. So knowledgeable, helpful, and patient.

We had the most amazing kayaking trip to Spencer Glacier with Greatland Adventures! Our driver and guide, Dana, was incredible—she knew so many fascinating facts about every place we passed on the drive and made the journey just as fun as the destination. She went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best time and truly helped make our Alaska dreams come true. The entire experience was seamless, unforgettable, and so much fun. I highly recommend Greatland Adventures for any of your Alaska adventures—you won’t regret it!

Tim was an amazing tour guide. He was on time and the car was so nice and clean. We felt like VIPs the entire day! We learned a lot and it was just a perfect vacation day for us. We really loved the waterfall we were able to see as well as the bonus to see Whittier since the tram was closed. We are very thankful we booked with you guys and wouldn't change a thing about our experience!

We had a tour with the guide, Tim. He picked us up at 8am and drove us to Matanuska Glacier in a clean and comfortable van. On the two-hour drive, we could enjoy a beautiful scenic view surrounding us, and Tim shared wish us interesting stories and facts about the nature here with extensive knowledge—And he already prepared snacks and bottles of water inside the van, which we enjoyed as well. Once we arrived the glacier, Tim offered us full ice equipment—helmets, ice cleats—and a brief on safety instructions. (Though we speak English, he even printed out a paper of instructions in Korean just in case that we don't speak English, showing that he's friendly towards any guest from the world.) We walked on the glacier SURFACE for 1.5 hours with his explanations of the terrain, which was one of the most amazing experiences I had in Alaska. The loop was easy and safe to walk, with Tim taking care of our safety all the time. After the walk, we had a lunch at Long Rifle Lodge which was 10mins drive from the glacier. We had delicious menus—a blueberry taco (Tim told us that blueberries are ripe in late summer in Alaska) and a burger—that were covered in the tour. Then we were driven to and dropped off at the hotel. I thank Tim a lot for all the enjoyment we had during the trip, and I'd definitely like to join WINTER adventures in Alaska with you, next time we visit Alaska again. + Your red-tinted glasses were so stylish. Where did you get them?

We booked the glacier kayak tour for early September, and it was amazing! From the drive to the train station, the train ride and the kayaking part, everything was well planned and our guide, Tim, gave us a lot of information all throughout the experience. Would definitely consider them again next time we'll visit Alaska!

Our small group of 4 did a private glacier hike with GA on the Matanuska Glacier. Our guide Bill was clearly a very experienced glacier guide and he took the time to explain all the different characteristics of glaciers during the drive there, and during the hike itself. He was quite patient with the less coordinated hikers(specifically, me!) and was careful to scout out routes on the glacier to check if they would be suitable for us “glacier hiking newbies”. Once he even used his ice pick to carve “steps” into the ice to help make it a tad easier to traverse a more challenging area. The entire hike was an exhilarating experience and I highly recommend this particular hike as it truly is unlike any other.

We had an amazing kayaking trip with the team at Spencer Glacier. The team from the office staff to guides (thank you Rochelle and Tim) were so efficient and flexible to make sure we had the best time possible with our ultra last minute booking. They were incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable and I would definitely book tours with them again whenever I’m back in Anchorage

This is a must tour for Anchorage. Tim was amazing. From picking up on time, to strange knowledge about the entire area. We did have an ice cleat malfunction but he had more to spare and even swapped his out with the malfunctioning set. Kept us on a safe route and took us to some very beautiful picture spots. Even a little "waterfall" for some really fresh glacier water. Highly recommend.

Mike was a phenomenal guide on our snow shoe hike adventure today. It was actively snowing on us all day as we hiked about 3.5 miles in and out of hemlock forests, easily maneuvering over snow drifts and mountain terrain. We loved this experience... it was perfect for us, away from crowds, alone in Alaskan wilderness with someone who made us feel safe and took our interests and likes into account as he scouted out our route along the base of Flattop mountain. Highly recommend Mike for any hike.

Hike with Mike! My husband and I had the best hiking experience at Eagle River and Barbara Falls. Our guide Mike was so fun, down to earth and knowledgeable and we genuinely enjoyed his company the entire time. The scenery was completely gorgeous and the challenge level of the trail was exactly as they described. Using Go Hike Alaska made us feel safe going into the woods because Mike was prepared with all the things! We learned so many interesting facts that seemed to connect all that we had learned so far about Alaska, into a complete picture. Hiking with Mike was our last planned outing of a two-week adventure and it was the perfect way to end the trip before being on a plane for 9 hours the next day. If we are fortunate enough to visit the state again, we definitely plan on signing up for another hike! Do it, you won't regret it.

Went on the Winter Waterfall Hike. Amazing views, fun facts galore about Alaska, wildlife and trivia, and of course, the opportunity to walk alongside and over a half-frozen river to a beautiful waterfall. Mike and Bryce were wonderful guides; make sure you experience this wonderful mini-adventure.

If you are looking for a truly unique, personalized adventure literally “off the beaten path” then this excursion is for you! Our guide/owner Matt was amazing. His knowledge of the Alaskan flora and fauna was outstanding! We had a blast foraging for everything edible in the vast Alaskan forest including plant leaves, flowers and mushrooms. After hiking and foraging, Matt found a super cool location to break out the cooking gear and make lunch. He is an expert chef and involved our group in all aspects of the meal prep process. I felt like I was out on an adventure with an old friend. Don’t miss this incredible experience while in Anchorage!!

Excellent experience! Eli was a terrific guide and provided and safe and enjoyable hike. At the start, he asked the right questions to make sure he selected a hike that suited my abilities. As we hiked, Eli was knowledgeable of the local flora and fauna, and stopped briefly as we encountered examples of interesting plants or rock formations to tell me about them. I recommend this company to any individual or small group looking for a hike.

I'm not an outdoorsy person, but I knew I wanted to step out of my comfort zone to really appreciate the beauty of Alaska while there on vacation over Memorial Day weekend. I found Go Hike Alaska through the Anchorage tourism website, and I'm so happy I booked the Chugach State Park Nature Walk. Matt was an absolute pro and really helped our small group learn a lot, laugh a lot, have some fun, and see some really beautiful flora and fauna. He was patient with our questions and really knowledgeable of the park, everything in it, and the history of the area. I know he does bigger, more challenging hikes and excursions which I'd definitely recommend for those looking for it. But if you're like me, and looking for an accessible, beginner-friendly experience with an expert guide to help you have fun and really take in the beauty of Alaska, I can't recommend Matt, Go Hike Alaska, and the Nature Walk tour enough! It was the highlight of my trip to Anchorage and really proved that the outdoors is for everyone! And Go Hike Alaska definitely delivered on that. Thanks again!

I can't recommend Matt and his team of guides at Go Hike Alaska enough! I've done both an Alpine Trek day hike with guide Leah around Labor Day of 2022, and most recently the Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure in January of 2023. Both trips were absolutely stunning, well run, and perfect outings to get out of Anchorage proper when one doesn't have time for a multi-day adventure. Both excursions were a quick drive from Anchorage, and I was picked up and dropped off right at or near my hotel, perfect for those that may not have a rental vehicle. The guides (including owner Matt, who did my snowshoeing outing) are incredibly knowledgeable, and eager to share their knowledge and love for Alaska. There are outings to suit all fitness levels, abilities and schedules (half day and full day). The snowshoeing trip was quite a workout but an absolute blast with breathtaking views; we experienced everything from a good snow to sun peeking above the mountains and casting the most gorgeous light ever. The photos I have from both trips are stunning and I have people ask me all the time "where did you go to see all of that??" I plan to book a backpacking trip with them as soon as my schedule allows, dream trip!

Even though we're not big into photography, we really enjoyed our trip with Alaska Photo Treks. We especially loved getting to see and explore the areas outside Anchorage. We'd hoped to see more animals (we only spotted one moose calf!), but the scenery was absolutely stunning, and we even picked up some keeper tips for taking better iPhone photos. I'm giving this four out of five stars because I expected a more animal-focused experience. We spent a bit too much time at each location photographing plants and scenery, which wasn't a main interest for anyone in our three-person group (my spouse included). Maybe I should have done more research before booking, but I did note this in the pre-trip questionnaire. Still, we saw incredibly beautiful places, and it was a fantastic introduction to the nature around Anchorage. I just wished for a bit more movement.

I cannot recommend this tour enough! Erica & Colin were wonderful - they were so helpful in getting my camera settings where they needed to. They made sure everyone was comfortable and I think the pictures speak for themselves! I have very little photography experience and was able to get these with their help!

Excellent tour. Jamin was my guide and the day was sensational. We saw 13 moose and all kinds of other wildlife. Office staff made scheduling easy. Class operation. Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful experience! Our guide, Terry, took us to popular scenic spots and secret hidden gems of the area, where we were able to get some really special photographs. She gave us simple tips and advice that helped us improve our photography skills exponentially! Terry was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and so helpful. We spent several hours driving to different locations and taking photographs. Even though the conditions were rainy, we got some incredible shots. Thanks so much for a wonderful photography, oriented experience in Alaska!

We had an incredible experience with Alaska Photo Treks! The team demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout our adventure. A huge shoutout to our private guide, Ben - he absolutely went above and beyond! Not only did Ben expertly search out amazing photography opportunities, but he also generously shared his vast knowledge of photography techniques with us. His passion for photography and Alaska's stunning landscapes made for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Alaska Photo Treks for anyone looking for a top-notch photography adventure in Alaska.

I was able to do both a day and night tour with this professional, and highly knowledgeable company. During the day I spent time with Carl, a military veteran, and learned several things about my camera’s features and how to actual make the adjustments for the time of photos I personally would enjoy. Carl also was very knowledgeable about the Anchorage area and its history so we were able to capture some unique moments on the tour. The night tour was with Ben and Colin which are also both very personable and professional. They were able to manage a group of viewers, equipment, and keep everyone warm at -6 degrees F. There was a mix-up in my booking and it was fixed and I was refunded for the rental camera I was not able to use. My only other issues were the campiness and length spent in the vehicles. I do highly recommend working with this company because they do enjoy helping people make the most of the experience and opportunity to capture the truly beautiful and mystical environment of Anchorage, Alaska and the Northern Lights.

I toured with Chad and STRONGLY recommend not only Alaska Photo Treks, but if you can get him as your guide, I'd say you've scored! Chad makes it his personal quest for you to see Aurora. In addition to chasing the lights like a person on a mission, he relies on data to show the strength of the lights and identifies locations as only a local can do to maximize the experience. I've been chasing Northern Lights all around the world for years and FINALLY I've seen what I've been looking for in so many cool places. Thanks to Chad, my obsession is now locked in :) OH! And don't think just because your trek is over that you've necessarily ended your adventure! He gave me great advice last night after I'd left Anchorage for Fairbanks...and I saw Aurora again thanks to his guidance and suggestions.

Easy short trail from the parking lot with a great view! $5 for parking. You can also do the flattop trail and blueberry knoll trail from the same parking lot, but it is steep in some places and we did not see any blueberries.

Located about 20-25 minutes from downtown Anchorage, it's a perfect spot to get a panoramic view of the city. The area is also dark enough to visit at night, providing an excellent opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Easy Breezy with great views. Can get crowded. Popular spot.

nice easy path to see anchorage and the mountains behind it. very nice.

Short & sweet little hike. Very easy.

Great hike for all ages and skills. Some sections can get muddy but the trail is well established and maintained. You can go all the way to the lakes and beyond, up and over the mountains to go back, or hike portions of it to customize your trip.

Good: - quite a number of landscapes and features packed into a single trail - beautiful mountains, valleys, lakes, rocks, outcrops, trees... it's all here - easy hike based on the minimum elevation changes Cautions: - bring the sunscreen; there is very little shade - obviously, can be muddy in the Spring with snow melt - there were a few challenging areas with water standing and I had to figure out how to get around or go through; for the most part there was ways to get around - while easy, it's a long hike; about 7 hours for me hiking fast with a few snack breaks Based on a late May 2021 hike. Most snow had been melted and what remained was packed pretty well. Beautiful hike and highly recommended.

Long flat walk but the views of the lake when the sun hits them are breathtaking.

This is a long hike! It's not very difficult, but it takes about 6 hours there and back if you walk slow and steady. Incredibly beautiful with little streams along the entire trail. I brought my puppy with me and she loved it. However, about 2 hours in, the trail turned to mud and my shoes got soaked and dirty, so make sure you come prepared!

Beautiful lakes and loop. I really enjoyed this trail! The trail fades off a little in the middle so be aware but it’s not hard to find your way back on it. Amazing sites and worth the trek out there.

Was overgrown in places, but the lakes are worth the effort.

Biggest in the world

Always a great place to watch airplanes

Stopped by the Ulu Factory next to our hotel and really enjoyed it. The staff were knowledgeable about the knives' history and craft, and you can watch them being made. The shop is a bit touristy beyond the knives, but it’s worth it for authentic Alaskan Ulus.

Ulu factory that show case how to make ulu knife. Unfortunately at the time of our visit we can only see thru windows. They did have a young staff showing how to use the knife. Free 30 mins parking is available on the side of the building.

Cute store where you can watch the artisans working on the ulu knives. As expected things were pretty high priced, but there was a huge selection to choose from for gift items and souvenirs.

A very cool place to look through the windows and see the knives being made. Beautiful product in several grades and sizes. 5 in, 6 in, and 8 in knives and small medium and large choping "bowls" . Basic knives to hand carved bone handle knives. Plenty of other "Alaska Only" items for sale too. Easy to walk to from downtown (take "C" street to 1st street and look for the building).

Great little shop with awesome gifts. Staff at the factory were very informative and did a great job explaining the history and uses of the Ulu.

Fun place to go! Lots of parking. Next to Ship Creek. Looks like new public restrooms are being finished. Lots of great gifts, locally made items, and souvenirs. Tons of Ulus and we could even watch them make them.

Good place to visit and get a souvenir. One can get custom engraving on the blade. The knife and the cutting bowl are pretty good for certain dishes. Prices are very decent as well. Parking is plenty and staff is good except the person on the reception. Looked like he was not interested in job at all, not welcoming or making tour interesting.

We finally made it to Bear Tooth Theatrepub for breakfast, and wow—what an experience! I had the lemon blueberry pancakes and they were absolutely AMAZING—fluffy, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. Joe went for the biscuits and gravy, and they were just as delicious—hearty, savory, and packed with flavor. We both ordered coffee, and the staff went above and beyond by adding caramel syrup and whipped cream on top—a little extra touch that made it feel special. The service was warm, friendly, and fast, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. Highly recommend this spot for a great breakfast (or brunch!) in Anchorage. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

I was pleasantly surprised how great the food was here. I'm visiting from Seattle and I thought it might be a little bit difficult to find great food in Anchorage because the price of food would be high. I had the pork pozole, the kale Caesar and a coconut flan. They were all great! And the service from Andrea was fantastic. The price was very reasonable

This is a very popular spot in Anchorage. They told us it was a 45 min wait Sunday night, so we went back on Monday. Very good food! I highly recommend the Mango Habanero Chicken Bowl and Blueberry Serrano Wings. Service was good.

It’s pretty good. Highly recommend if your visiting or have somebody visiting. The better food is on the theatrepub side but the fancy food is on the grill side. Had a burger, it was pretty good. There has definitely been a change in the past few years, as the overall vibe feels very different. Overall, it feels more cookie cutter and less of the “Alaskan experience” it was before. I would say it’s less friendly to locals and more of a normal restaurant. Theater side is still pretty good though. I would give 3 1/2 stars if I could.

My fiance and I had the rosemary burger and the bahn mi burger, along with an appetizer, a dessert and two drinks each, for eighty dollars. I think that was very reasonable!! The quality was amazing and the staff was very friendly

Had to check it out since I visited Moose tooth. Sat right away at the bar. Server/bartender was kind and quick with service and giving great recommendations. The food was brought out in a timely fashion and the fries were amazing and the Monte Cristo was delicious. I recommend.

Really enjoyed our visit. Staff was attentive, food was good except for their tortillas that go stiff and cold within seconds. We enjoyed their fish tacos and asked for spicy salsa. They brought us a house made green and red salsa; both really good!

This place is awesome! The owners were the best they were so friendly and helpful. We came to pan for gold and were treated to a top notch experience. We felt like vip customers. The shop and museum were amazing great stuff and quality of products. Our boys loved panning for gold and were so excited to find pieces of gold. I can't say enough about this place and how friendly they were helping and explaining many things. Prices were actually very reasonable. And amazing quality of products sold here. Thank you for the one of a kind experience and hands on training with gold panning.

The owner and staff are amazing! Such a cool place with a gorgeous view and unique Alaskan products. We were given a tour, and my little cousins got to learn the names of their free-range chickens and ducks. It’s a mini museum with a gold mining experience.

Cool little ma and pa gold panning spot off the highway to Kenai peninsula. The nephews like it so much we went twice! The gentlemen that runs the place has been there for 40 years with lots of interesting stories!!! Come check them out!!!

This place has always looked interesting and my family and I finally stopped by after going to Girdwood for the day. We didn't do any panning for gold (this time) but the gift shop was great and had some authentic items. The owners were so kind, especially to my son. The woman owner told me she had even given birth in the cabin we were standing in! (After seeing my newborn). The ducks and chickens were great to see running around, and when the woman collected the eggs she let us all feel that the duck egg was still warm. Just felt like the Alaskan dream in there with sincere people running it. Will definitely be back as the kids get older and to take any guests we have.

Neat little quirky gift shop where you can pan for gold, silver, etc .. we were fascinated by the ducks and chickens and turkeys. Worth a quick little stop

What a beautiful place. The scenery was wonderful and the blacksmith shop was really cool. Be sure you stop and check out the topographical quilt there in the blacksmith shop. It is so detailed and intricate. Then, before you leave, make sure you stop in the gift shop and, after selecting everything you want to get, grab one of the “Car Payment Cookies!” We got the oatmeal raisin cookie and it was probably one of the best cookies I’ve ever had (and they go to a good cause). We didn’t do the gold panning, which I’m sure is fun, but what we did end up doing we really enjoyed.

We had a great time here. My dad and I stopped by while waiting for the bore tide and beluga whales to appear. The lady that owns and runs the mining site was especially friendly. She even shared some of her pressure cooked moose meat lunch with us. We got tiny little gemstones (including amethyst, garnet, jasper, and some pieces of copper) and some small flakes of gold. We paid for an experience and thats what we got! I highly recommend this place as a stop while you’re traveling on the Seward highway. 10/10 wouldn’t change a thing.

Williwaw was a fun gust of cold wind! The bartenders were super kind and so quick at their craft! I was shocked at how fast my drink was made. The security personnel were also really compassionate and empathetic towards the patrons. There’s four major areas to grab a drink, a big dance floor on the main floor, and a little dance floor on the second floor. Both dance floors had a DJ that were killing their set! We went around 22:00 and there were only a few people dancing but once the hoards of 5’9” claiming to be 6’0” soldiers in their standardized military cuts came in it became a more robust party. Again the security is REALLY kind and empathetic and you can tell they only want you to feel safe and have a good time. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if necessary!

This is a three story party bar, with the top floor a nice rooftop bar with a small gas FirePit ! The vibe is young 20-40 from what we experienced and had a Latin vibe on the top floor as they were gearing up for a live DJ. The music and vibe was not for the 50+ set! Service and drinks were good. Younger people would likely give this a 5 ! VictorB

Several levels bar in the heart of anchorage. Its conveniently is located to many cool spots to eat and visit. It’s hip and has a cool roof top. The drinks aren’t too bad. The live music was cool. The vibe was decent. The people seem cool. The bartenders are nice. It’s not a bad spot to visit.

Some places simply shock you with targeted, random hatred. Been to this place twice, and the atmosphere is hyper and overmodulated and they really get hooked up with great entertainment, so I give them that. Last night my husband went here for an afterparty after Sundown. Went to the restroom, came out, and was being told to leave by security. Both my husband and I were suddenly being looked at like we were criminals. My husband informed me he asked for waters and the bartender was suddenly VERY cold and said he was cut off. The security guard seemed confused why he was telling us to leave, and we didn't argue one bit, so he didn't bother taking us to the door because we were like "Don't gotta tell us twice!" I know that places like this can take their patron count rate for granted, and treat people poorly, at random. At first I was too afraid to leave a review, but I am seeing that my experience is not the only one. It IS targeted, and I am seeing that it's men that they tend to target. Not sure what that bartender's deal is, but she treated my husband in a way that really startled him, and it is hard to describe, but it makes a person feel like they committed a dirty crime when nothing at all happened. It's psychological, and I am glad people are speaking up about how randomly awful going to Williwaw can be. Don't worry, will never be back.

My friends and I went for a rooftop social event but the event was cancelled due to cloudy weather. Our waitress was on the newer side and really seemed to struggle. The food took quite a while to come out and our order was wrong when it did eventually come. We tried to go back to this restaurant for a different evening event and were turned away early as they were trying to close things down. We gave this place two tries and both times were left disappointed!

Terrible, unskilled, lame We ordered 3 Yeager bombs and the shots were served in full size plastic cups. Not only was this a terrible look as a bartender is should have been embarrassing. I’ve had a lot of shots in my day and there was absolutely zero chance the Yeager at the bottom of these cups would even filled an actual shot glass.

"Best time of my life" type of venue. Beautiful light show and amazing sound quality. They know what they are doing. Worth checking out. Didn't eat any food both times i went, perhaps next time.

This place is interesting and it’s good use of a couple hours. My whole family enjoyed it

This is a small place so there isn't that much to see, but it's super interesting. Obviously, there's a lot of law-related 🚓 exhibits, but there are some other goodies as well. The director was super nice and let us in even though the museum was closed on the day we visited. He also gave us a lot of advice for our Alaska 🗻 trip. This place is well worth a visit!!

Wow, this museum was full of so much interesting stuff right back to the beginnings of law enforcement in Alaska. What those guys had to go through back in the day wearing those heavy wool uniforms and trekking through the snow in wild weather conditions. I took the time to watch the documentary, read about all of the exhibits and look over every detail. I got stuck in the Patch Room for so long because they have so many to look at from every Police Unit. Bought a couple of excellent quality shirts and a replica Alaska State Trooper badge too because of the brown bear emblem. The volunteer that day was super nice and very knowledgable. A must visit stop on your list if you are downtown Anchorage.

A nice little stop if you have a bit of time to kill. The price is definitely reasonable, with entrance only being $5. I will say I think the museum could benefit from potentially having a bit more flow. However, it was interesting to see the history of law enforcement for an area with such severe climates and a relatively recent but rich history. Sadly when I was there nothing was playing in the movie room. Do not think this is a must if in Anchorage for a short amount of time but if someone wanted to stop by it's not bad.

Excellency! A bit crammed in space, but overall worth the $5 entrance. The theatre monitor showing a historical documentary on Alaska was a nice touch.

Great place to visit with the family. Staff very knowledgeable & accommodating. Worth checking out.

Very cool experience! Truly a must do! Fun and educational. If you are interested in law enforcement you will Love this place!

A smaller museum but a nice collection. My tween and I spent about an hour and a half there

Nice science center and fun for the kids. The staff here are friendly and very helpful. My family and I came here on a field trip and were given scavenger hunts to complete for a smell prize. The kids loved it. Highly recommend taking the family here for a visit. The only downside is it’s small, but worth the trip.

I visited this museum back in January. It was a really cool collection. I haven't been to many museums that are quite so interactive. I enjoyed how many of the exhibits were specifically relevant to Alaska and its history while also relating to wider natural history. It's a relatively small museum but is 100% worth the stop! The care of the people who curate the collection is evident.

Took my 3yr old here, who is learning about dinosaurs. He loved the younger scavenger hunt and treasure! They packed allot into a small space. Even know it seems small we weirdly spent 2 hours here. They have dig pits and shelves of toys that are either creative play or museum themed. Wonderful use of time. Will come again.

Super cute place to take children! It's small but reasonably priced for what they offer with a friendly staff and nice gift shop.

A very fun museum! Expect to spend about an hour or two here depending on your interest. Great for the littles. Lots of bones / fossils/ replicas and a cute little gift shop. An area for younger kids to sit and play. A small museum with easy parking and a restroom.

Small but dense. Very few original fossils, but many excellent recreations/castings. Very good taxidermy. A little disorganized, and signage was often poor and hard to read, but worth the price of admission, especially for younger kids who will enjoy the density of content.

This was an amazing half day excursion! Bob is the ultimate guide. It was a challenging, fun, scenic, exhilarating, wet and DIRTY tour of of the Chugach National Forest. Midway we went on a great hike and Bob knew where all the great photo op spots were (as an added bonus, he’s a great photographer and got some memorable shots of us with our own cameras). We were were glad we did the half day as it provided a ton of backwoods fun and gave us time to do something different in the afternoon! Thanks Bob!

Absolute 10/10 must do if you’re in the Anchorage area!! Bob was an excellent tour guide we had an amazing experience. Change of clothes is a good idea to bring and a GoPro if you have one. Even with minimal to no ATV experience, this is still an excellent experience and well worth it. We were fortunate enough to see a brown bear fishing for salmon in a river at the end of the tour. Bob was always looking out for wildlife and has years of experience on these trails. Some places ask you to leave a review but not here, I’m just writing this so more people can have a great experience with this company on this tour. Thanks again Bob!

Had an AMAZING tour this past weekend. Kris was the best tour guide, super knowledgeable about the area and very personable. Made sure everyone felt comfortable on the ATV before heading out and took us on some amazing trails with the most beautiful views. I seriously think this is the best and most authentic alaska ATV tour out there. Made unforgettable memories on this trip. I absolutely loved every second of it. Thank yall so much for the experience!!!

Ended up just being the two of us - Bob guiding and me following. Was good, flexible and fun. If I had one request it would be to go up higher in elevation…not sure if the ATV trails do but if so would be nice. Owner on the phone and txt was very pleasant and responsive and git me in last minute as I decided getting out in the dirt way better than spa day at Alyeska. My guide Bob was very cordial and also knowledgeable, with a good eye for spotting wildlife. Definitely recommend Alaska ATV Adventures. Thanks.

Phenomenal tour! ATV trail ride, a hike to see a waterfall, and we were able to see 3 bears with a spotting scope. It is a great way to experience some of Chugach.

This was an amazing Alaska adventure! The trail was challenging and high energy and fun! We took a nature walk to a beautiful waterfall. Really a great day on the Chubach trails.

This was a great ride through the forest. We had no equipment failures, and the hike down to the river full of salmon was epic. It has rained ,so there was water everywhere! Perfect start to our vacation.

Town Square Park is across the street from the Egan Convention Center. This would have been a lovely small city center park. Even this late, and with some light showers, the flowers were in full bloom and beautiful. The homeless gather there. and I wanted to be careful. I stayed on the edges of the park.

Beautiful flowers in the downtown Town Square Park. Lots of special events, concerts etc happen in the area.

Always nice to visit I believe the increased activities keep it clean and safe. I love all the flowers Live After Five is always fun. Surrounded by food n drink and some good shopping

A great place to hold an event. The Town Square Park is host to many events throughout the year. New Years fireworks and summer concerts are the two events that seem to draw a large crowd. Summertime the Town Square Park is very colorful with numerous variations of flowers. Wintertime the Town Square Park is sparkly with LED lights in the trees. The Town Square Park can be very active, so if you want to eat in peace then you should look elsewhere.

Great place is a city park didn't know we went to a concert there Maoli Country/Reggae singer Amazing music and best venue ever

Visited park in early July 2021. Beautiful flowers!!! They were trying to make it a happy place by adding some local music from Hispanic population.

Lovely park in the middle of the business district. It is early August as I write this review - the flower beds are in full bloom as are the strategically placed heads of cabbage marking the corners of the beds. Just charming. This park brings a character to the surroundings! Come visit, take the load off - enjoy!!

Such an awesome place!! They seem like they really know what they're doing, and the coffee was great! I got an iced Latte and it was yummy. I also got a cinnamon roll, with was delicious! The atmosphere was great, with couches and chairs everywhere and plenty of seating and outlets. Definitely recommend!! Also their ice cubes were beautiful lol.

Espresso drinker? Steamdot has the best espresso in Alaska due to the proper use of the Slayer Espresso Machine. A Metro vibe and a focus on brighter coffees define the experience. Every sip, of espresso, showcases the vibrant aspects of their coffee. Pared with a seltzer to cleanse the palate gives a grand espresso experience. The cafes machine allows a long pre infusion phase of the extraction process allowing coffee to be ground finer thereby increasing extraction yields. Single Origin coffee is roasted to showcase the unique origin character of each coffee. A focus on quality is evident with most bags, depending on the sub species, containing small dense high altitude beans. I have yet to buy a bag that has roasting defects. Atmosphere is classy and tucked shirt. Large open ceilings with a large use of metal accents give the air of a downtown metropolitan cafe. The feeling is compounded by the regulars who are often professionals in meetings. While espresso and beans shine, milk drinks suffer from lower quality syrups offered compared to the competition. If Steamdot were to switch to only in-house production or a higher quality brand a fifth star would not be far behind.

Finally, a coffee shop that does not have a boring tea menu! I was so impressed they had 10 different teas with various varieties, and then they steeped it with a timer. I saw incredible artwork that the Reece were doing with local mochas and café drinks. It was such a fun experience going here. They actually have a Chemex and a coffee that you can get that’s made with a Chemex set up, I was impressed by that. This is a great place to take friends to talk. The only negative aspect that I could find with this location is that I couldn’t find a power source easily in a wall if you are working on your laptop.

Warm and inviting place on a rainy gray day in Amchorage.

One of the best shops I've been to in a long time. Walked in and admired the art on the walls and the infographic on the wall that was hand painted referencing the different brew methods. Ordered a cortado and was asked if it was for here or to go, I replied for here, and was met with a "bless you." That speaks volumes to me. Tried their espresso of the day with the cortado, top notch. They serve it with the board and a club soda. My wife got a mocha which they use a house made sauce and he added in some cinnamon for her. Both drinks were great. I highly highly reccomend this spot. Prices were unbelievable too. We scored a cortado and a mocha for $9. Hope they are doing well and continue the mission!

Service is very slow. Takes 15 minutes to get a coffee even when there are just a few people in line. Orders a routinely missed. Baristas seem to be pretty carefree even when multiple people are waiting. Coffee is very good!

Great espresso, and love that they serve it Italian style with a sparkling water. Nice, quiet atmosphere with plenty of tables and big windows.

Cute little park, wishing there were a little more to it. Maybe it needs a small Pavillion, the view was great though!

Missed a picnic that was suppose to be there, they must of canceled it earlier than planned. I had a great walk, sunny-like, & nice people's crossed paths w/. Done about 2 miles, but full of photos. G. I sez I'm a professional level awarded photographer . . . Great, and I thanks G.

Love to visit this park. It has a variety of sections dedicated to different things such as the veterans memorial for example. It’s where a majority of the Anchorage festivals and parades occur. Don’t miss the 4th of July celebration here. It’s amazing year after year!

Delaney park is a large park located on W 9th Ave in Anchorage. The park is located in a mixed commercial, residential area and is very well-maintained. It features a skating rink, horseshoe pits, football field, as well as as numerous benches and picnic tables throughout. There is a World War II soldier statue, war memorial, locomotive as well as an MLK Junior, commemorative statue and informational center. There are some portable restrooms. Street parking is available. It’s a very nice park overall.

Went for the fourth of July celebration. Was fun. Enjoyed getting out of the house and enjoying. Ate at the Russian food cart and had some pink cotton candy (my favorite). The live band was very good.

Spacious. Had a Pride festival going on when we visited. It was well-attended, lots of vendors, and everyone was very nice. Perfect venue for hosting community events

There was an event there and we just drove by to see what was happening. There is plenty of parking and it looked to be a good place to spend time with family and friends. There were many vendors there that day too.

Small place but it was good. We leaned a lot from there also the gentleman was nice.

Great military museum in Anchorage. We got a wonderful tour from Ted. We were able to see many rare artifacts, especially from the Aleutian campaign, but including all sorts of interesting items from the other major wars of the 20th century as well. I am aware of no other museum that has so much (or frankly, any) battlefield hardware from Attu and Kiska if that's a topic of interest. Traces the entire history of Alaska's involvement in World War I, II, Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, and post-Cold War eras. Well worth a visit!

Great history on the Alaska Scouts Exhibits and Alaska Territorial Guard exhibits. The curator highlights the brave secrets kept by North to the Future ☆ Thank you, brave men, women, and families that serve ♡ Blue Star Families, Gold Star Glories

A good little museum but filled with lots of history of the military side of this community. I wish there was more space for the displays and better preservation of artifacts being done but it's a great museum and I recommend it over the other museum in this area. Would love to see it expanded in the future and cover the more diverse side of the military community of this region.

Working on the first modern academic history book on Anchorage and the area meant a lot of work and research on my plate. So I am very thankful museums that preserve history like this exist. I am grateful to the staff for the information I was able to obtain for my book.

Really great tours with loads of facts, anecdotes and jokes. The items they have curated there are one of a kind, lots of weapons and artifacts from the WW2 battles that took place in Alaska. Check it out!

Very informative and good exhibits! We really enjoyed our time at this museum and the museum guide was very friendly and helpful.
