Curators tried to stay Alaska-oriented and everything is well organized.Social distancing is also easy to maintain.

A neat place to spend a couple hours. Most things here are able to be touched which is great for hands on learning. In the back theres a whole kids are to play with bins of toys such as blocks, a dollhouse, puzzles, etc. And that is where the digging pits are. Socks are required to go into the dog pit but if you forget socks you can buy them for less than a dollar at the gift shop.

Nice little museum. Very kid friendly of all ages.

Simple museum but definitely a location to put on your Anchorage to do list

They had a lot of exhibits. Very informational and worth the price.

This place is so cool and the amount of hands on exhibits is very fun. Def suggest for a dino or animal loving person.

Whenever you visit a new area you should always go to a natural history or science museum. The Alaska museum is one of the better ones that I have been to throughout the United States. Its definitely worth the time to visit and learn a little bit more about the area youre visiting

We love this,place. Lots of interesting things to see and the kids can actually touch things! There is also a well stocked play area for the kids that includes digging pits.

Very nice and most educational. Great animal displays, I was not aware there were Alaskan Lions at one time

This museum is alright. There are some cool skeletons and taxidermy but its just a lot smaller than youd expect a museum to be. I guess I was expecting a lot more but the woman at the front desk was very nice.

Hidden gem to take kids. Almost everything there you can touch and is hands on. They built an area for kids to dig for fossils and play with other learning activities. Staff is friendly and engaging.

I never knew! Youd be surprised at what you didnt know about the past right here in Alaska!

Had a birthday party here and the kids loved it. Fun place

Table place for Alaska people in Alaska native to know a little bit more about their Heritage and the beginnings in origins of Alaska and food is great

Wonderful gem of Anchorage. So many amazingly interesting fossils, stones and so much more. Definitely a must visit place for young minds to explore and be inspired.

Smaller than I expected. Absolutely dead silent and it echoes horrendously. While they do have alot for kids to do and touch every noise or excited scream is magnified by 1000. My daughter loved it I just felt bad for anyone in there with us since every excited noise sounded like the apocolypse.

Stumbled across this about 2 years ago and continue to be impressed. Its an amazing place for kids since so much of it theyre allowed to touch. Its a little bit of everything from rocks to animals to fossils and even a play area. Great for toddlers through teens because they can play or read in detail info depending on age level. Make sure to take advantage of the wooden drawers throughout the building as theyre full of other items you can check out but theres just not enough shelf/table space for it all

We decided to take our 2 year old here because he is obsessed with dinosaurs. He enjoyed running around and looking at the few dinosaurs they had but we all grew bored after about 20 minutes. There is a dig site in the back for kids but we didnt partake. The staff is very friendly & allowed our little guy to roam the museum with the stuffed toys he found in the gift shop. I thought the price for 2 adults was kind of steep for the amount of material to look at & time spent inside. Our little one does however want to go back to get more dinosaur toys!

Great place for kids and adults

Cute little museum for our young kids. It was kind of small but perfect for our 3 year old who loves animals!

Great place for families. Playing and learning experience

Cool and educational place for kids.

Fun and family-friendly museum. Lots of great information and hands-on exhibits. I definitely recommend it for snowy winter days with little ones!

Great for kids who loves looking at rocks and bones. Lots of history

This is the awesomest little Museum in Anchorage. Nearly everything is out and available to touch and pick up and explore.

Went on a school trip and loved it.

Pretty good for its size, lots of information. Although, it was absolutely freezing and kinda dim.. Bring a light coat/ hoodie.

We stopped by this museum today and it was packed with good information and displays appropriate for both adults and kids. The fee to get in was reasonable and would be well worth the trip and admission.

Fantastic. Lots of things to touch, lots of things for kids, lots of real science for the adults, very affordable. Will go again.

Small place, but fascinating!

Really cool, they have Lucy! Clean facility and friendly staff!

If you have children this is an excellent location to bring them. They have a great mix of hands on activity and exhibits that are well worth the admission price not to mention specialized events like Tinker time with storytime and crafts and exhibits like the Nano-Imagine exhibit that is coming December 21st-January 5th! Adults are just $5 and children are $3.

Some cool stuff. Wish there was a larger variety!

Great all around
