Reviews of Alaska Museum of Science and Nature (Museum)

Becca Hill

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 there's 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.

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

I never knew! You'd be surprised at what you didn't know about the past right here in Alaska!

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.

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

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.

Very informative, my first time to Alaska.

Stumbled across this about 2 years ago and continue to be impressed. It's an amazing place for kids since so much of it they're allowed to touch. It's 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 they're full of other items you can check out but there's just not enough shelf/table space for it all

Claire Ferguson

Anthony Bostick

Eric Lee

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

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

Justin Smith

Only open 3 days a week?

Raymond Ayres

Outstanding displays!

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 didn't 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!

Sandi Skrobis

Small place, but fascinating!

Johanna Desbiens

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

Kevin Matson

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

Casey Renteria

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.

Jenney Yousey

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

Leigh Seipp

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.

Michael Graham

Very interesting!

Steve Driscoll

Great all around

Jesse Millions

Went on a school trip and loved it.

Michael Hyde

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

Candice Jennings

Learned alot

Myra Scholze

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

Blue Kjet

Kids loved it

Bernard Sullivan

NICE

Matt Cabana

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.
