The best part of this museum is the Smithsonian exhibit, other than that, it was not worth our time or money. Until they add more, don't waste your time. We were in and out in 1.5 hours. They do have a hands on area for kids that was fair, but we have seen much better.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped. Call and make sure that they're not changing out exhibits before you pay the entry fee! Also, if you have kids, there is an incredible Alaska history section. There is another, beautifully displayed collection of native and Eskimo artifacts. There is an area specifically designed for children and it was full! Personally, I think I enjoyed the grounds more than the museum because they were changing out exhibits on the day I went.
There a wonderful exhibit of Alaskan artifacts sent from the Smithsonian that are on display and being researched. Hook up with a docent led tour of this exhibit on the second floor. It's very interesting and insightful of the indigenous peoples, their customs, and way of life.
“The suites were large and comfortable, with a door to separate the sitting room and bedroom, which was a terrific help when one of us is an earlier riser than the other. The window in the bedroom opened, which was of terrific help in trying to control the dryness. And, it was within easy walking distance of restaurants, Anchorage museum and other downtown facilities.”
“Location is very close to all the downtown shops and restaurants. The downtown mall is two blocks away and the Anchorage Museum is one block away. We enjoyed McGinleys pub - great food and service.”
