This center is fantastic. You can learn all about Alaska and it's people. You can also get your national parks passport stamps here. The park rangers are extremely friendly and helpful. Great for kids, too.

There are walking paths and a cabin and outhouse on display for the uninitiated, a real Alaskan treat for the novice as well as those who have lived here many... More

Helpful staff, good place to get info on what was open -- especially in the winter. Is even more fun in the summer with the adjacent garden and river walk

Just stoppinng by the visitors center will give you such a great feel for Alaska and the tour of the facility is outstanding. The center is unique with all the information you will need to see the area. Must do!!
