This is a very nice park with lots of play areas and places to picnic or relax. There are lots of small shops featuring Alaskan crafts and plenty of choices for eating. Kids will enjoy the small train ride or the old time carousel. No entry charge and plenty of parking too. More

Nice spot with a variety of history lessons on interior Alaska. Nice museum with many shops and things to look at, as well as a good playground for the kids. You can also go mini-golfing or rent canoes for the Chena River. More
