Anchorage Museum – A modern, state of the art museum, kids can spend hours exploring the galleries (and is a good choice for a rainy day). The Discovery Center has hands-on science exhibits about auroras, earthquakes and volcanoes, glaciers, biodiversity, aurora borealis, and activities for little kids. Learn about the history and culture of Native Alaskan peoples in the Living our Cultures gallery, filled with exquisite masks, button blankets, Chilkat robes, and dioramas of traditional life. Museum is closed on Monday. |
