We did the museum portion first and the kids were bored stiff, however I loved seeing all of the alaska tribe artifacts. The discovery center was fun for all ages.

Great museum. Enjoyed their art work. The exhibits showing the culture of the early inhabitants was very good.

A compelling display of the skills required to survive the challenges of the northern climate, and the products created to aid this existence. A wonderful exhibition.

A wonderful museum dedicated to life in Alaska with modern and historical displays - I love the costumes and descriptions of the items in the cases. If you love history, you will love this museum

I was able to spend only a few hours at this great museum but I could have spent a whole day. There is a children's activity section as well as a planetarium, permanent exhibits, and changing exhibits. I thoroughly enjoyed the Smithsonian Alaska Native exhibit.

Beautifully displayed traditional clothing, tools, weapons of Tlingits, Inuits and half a dozen others.

For a small city this museum will shock you with their amazing displays. Their Smithsonian exhibit on Alaska Native cultures upstairs is phenomenal and worth every penny of the admittance price. Also the paintings by Alaskan artists is quite a nice collection as is the children's section and rotating exhibits. Don't miss this gem!

This place deserves an evening of your trip. It has an excellent collection of Alaskan cultures, great display and very interesting. Also, the lowest floor has a fabulous resting space and an expo where you can play with inventions while learning. A lot of fun. And the building is modern and beautiful.
