Such an amazing place! The attention to detail in every aspect of the center is evident. The trail outside with the six authentic homes / dwellings from the different Alaskan regions is such an awe-inspiring, immersive experience and was a highlight for my family. We also enjoyed the sports demonstrations, storytelling, "Teatime with an Elder" and the theater.

Can't recommend this center enough. Very informative, with many exhibits both inside and outside for all ages. Many "touchable" exhibits for little hands. My favorite part of the visit was storytelling/singing on the stage right inside the main door. And I absolutely love the fact that most of the exhibits we're staffed by younger (teens - twenties) people. In my opinion, that demonstrates a desire to carry on traditions, but also makes the exhibits more approachable by you her visitors. Thank you for the informative center, exhibits, and staff.
