Things to Do in

ALASKA

With Kids

Start planning a trip to Alaska with kids and experience epic scenery, unique wildlife and adventures for every age.

1

DOG SLEDDING

Have a private meet-and-greet with the pups, take an exhilarating ride out on the trails on specially-designed carts and get a behind-the-scenes look at real Iditarod equipment.

Cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park. Most of the park is covered in ice and plenty more is water, so a cruise is your best option to explore!

2

Visit Alaska National Parks

3

Take a bear viewing tour

The most famous spot for bear viewing in Alaska is Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, but for smaller crowds and lower cost explore Lake Clark National Park instead.

In addition to the incredible mountain scenery, Denali National Park & Preserve offers incredible wildlife viewing and plenty of on- and off-trail hiking.
