    Review of: Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
    Drive or walk small zoo
    Weather was lousy with rain so we stayed in the car most of the time. We did see the bears there. The elk and reindeer were interesting but nothing overly impressive.

    Review of: Alyeska Aerial Tram
    Great views
    A must do if in the area if the weather is good. We lucked out and saw it both clear and foggy. Had a drink at the bar and shopped the roundhouse museum. Highly recommend.

    Review of: Winner Creek Trail Hand Tram
    Easy trail next to Alyeksa Resort
    We hiked this trail knowing that the hand tram is shut down for repairs. It is a great trail regardless. Easy boardwalks and gravel make this a good trail for beginners. Easy access from Alyeka resort.

    Review of: Alyeska Ski Area
    Ski lift has awesome views
    We don't ski, but got to ride the ski lift up and down the mountain. We were in Girdwood for the forest fair and wanted to see mountains. This is a must do

    Review of: Chugach State Park
    Beautiful views
    Very nice area. We visited near the portage glacier and found beautiful views and trails.
    There is one trail that takes you back to the glacier.

    Review of: Crow Creek Mine
    Monday night Salmon Bake

    Review of: Virgin Creek Falls Trail
    Beautiful quick walk - worth it to do!
    This was a well marked trail entrance with limited parking out front as it is on residential gravel road with new home construction. It is an easy .5 mile hike in and out total. The water roars over the falls and it is a beautiful rainforest canopy with hemlocks and moss and ferns. Very nice!

    Review of: Girdwood Brewing Company
    Great beer!
    We visited as part of a tour on the way to Anchorage from Seward. It was awesome! Tim - the chief creative for the company - walked us through the tasting. We loved hearing the story about the brewery and the beer was good!

    Review of: Begich Boggs Visitor Center
    Very well done
    This was probably the best visitor center we saw on our trip. Exhibits were informative and the large windows were great.

    Review of: McHugh Creek Recreation Area
    Great roadside stop
    This was a perfect way to break up our drive from Denali to Seward. The area is very nice. The waterfall is right there and a short walk away is this beautiful creek that feeds the waterfall. We did not do any of the longer trails but I’m sure it is worth it. The only thing is it is very hard to enter because it is on the side of a highway.

    Review of: The Girdwood Center for the Visual Arts
    Co-op - please support
    We loved this quaint little art shop which is staffed by the artists whose work is on display on a rotation basis. We could have bought more had we not been short of room for the flight home but we thought the prices were very reasonable.

    Review of: Big Game Alaska
    Puts you Up Close with the Wildlife
    It is now known as the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, but does a great job of getting people up close to the animals. The Bears are obviously a huge attraction with both brown and black bears, and the feeding time is always interesting, although disappointing to see such wild creatures penned up. However, this is a sanctuary for problem or orphaned animals, so they are doing very good work here to protect the animals, while giving the population the chance to experience these magnificent creatures in person. Very much worth a visit!

    Review of: The Roundhouse at Alyeska
    Some interesting things
    The roundhouse is predominantly a shop these days, but the board walk around the outside and the accompanying photos are well worth the stop. It's at the end of a covered walkway when you exit the tram so it's not difficult to get there.
