　　A nonprofit wildlife center where injured and rescued animals are on display. Particularly of interest are the wood bison, the only herd in the US. They are part of a program to reintroduce the extinct-in-Alaska breed. It's also a good spot to see a bear or moose if you haven't yet. A new education building was being built at research time.

Far North Bicentennial Park

　　Comprising 4000 acres of forest and muskeg in east central Anchorage, this park features 20 miles of trails. In the center of the park is the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) Campbell Tract, a 700-acre wildlife preserve where it’s possible to see moose and bears in the spring and brilliant...

Alaska Native Heritage Center

　　If you can't travel to the Bush region to experience Native Alaska culture firsthand, visit this 26-acre center and see how humans survived – and thrived – before central heating. This is much more than just a museum: it represents a knowledge bank of language, art and culture that will...

Glacier BrewHouse

　　Grab a table overlooking the three giant stainless-steel brewing tanks and enjoy wood-fired pizzas and rotisserie-grilled ribs and chops with a pint of oatmeal stout. But be prepared to wait for that table, as this place is popular. ...

Anchorage Museum

　　This world-class facility is Anchorage’s cultural jewel. The West Wing, a four-story, shimmering, mirrored facade, adds 80,000 sq ft to what was already the largest museum in the state, while the Rasmuson Wing adds art from across the international North. The museum's flagship exhibit is the Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center...

Oscar Anderson House

　　Housed in the city’s oldest wooden-framed home, this little museum overlooks the delightful Elderberry Park. Anderson was the 18th American settler to set foot in Anchorage, and he built his house in 1915. Today it’s the only home museum in Anchorage, and despite past budget problems, it’s open as a...

Ship Creek Viewing Platform

　　From mid- to late summer, king, coho and pink salmon spawn up Ship Creek, the historical site of Tanaina Indian fish camps. At the overlook you can cheer on those love-starved fish humping their way toward destiny, and during high tide see the banks lined with anglers trying to hook...

49th State Brewing

　　The two-level rooftop deck overlooks Cook Inlet, Sleeping Lady, and Denali in the distance, and it's the place to throw back a cold one on a sunny evening. Inside has a sports-bar feel, but the menu is a bit more creative with specialties such as a yak quesadilla and crab-stuffed...
