Embark on an excursion that will take you to the top attractions of the capital city.

Visit the Macaulay Salmon Hatchery and discover how an Alaskan hatchery enhances stocks of wild Alaskan salmon. Experience high quality aquarium and touch tank displays featuring over 100 local species. Enjoy a tasting of smoked Coho salmon while your guide explains the importance of wild salmon and hatcheries to our local Alaskan culture. Take with you a portion of smoked salmon jerky as a gift and reminder of our unique Alaskan salmon hatchery. 

Your next destination is the awe-inspiring Mendenhall Glacier, nestled among jagged peaks, rushing water and the lush rain forest. Spend your time at the glacier watching for bears during the salmon spawning season, talking to National Park Service Rangers inside the visitor's center, viewing informative exhibits or walking out to the photo point.
 
Finally, the motorcoach winds its way through a narrow passageway, a botanical garden of beauty and imagination unfolds.  A guide will escort you through the lower garden to a covered shuttle that will take you for a detailed viewing of the lush rainforest. Prior to departing you will receive a complimentary Forget-Me-Not seed packet, as a reminder of your journey!
