Great look back to Alaska's past!

Husband's really liked the uniqueness of this museum. I didn't go in as it is not really my thing. However I did like their gift shop.

A great museum full of beautiful pieces representing the history for the state.

Jim Williams

Decent collection of rot. No fuss no muss just rotting boats, machines, cars, heavy equipment, helicopters, planes, and trains. $8 adults $5 kids.

Lior Shapira

Off beat, full of amazing exhibits and right off the highway, definitely worth a stop

Neil Kratz

Lot of old Alaskan transportation from snowmobiles to trains and airplanes. Most out side.

JODY NEEDY

More artifacts then we imagined, so much to look at, excellent.

Bob La Brash

Really interesting, nice variety of transportation items some really old, some rust and never to be used again and others running!

Heidi Diamond

This museum was an unexpected stop and I am so glad we did it. It is really amazing to have a better understanding of what pioneers in early Alaska endured. Talk about ingenuity! Wow! So many cool pieces of equipment and neat exhibits of history. I learned a lot about early communication challenges in Alaska! Sled dog mail, 24 hour switch board operator, party lines! Crazy! But they made it work! Definitely worth checking out.

This was a great museum with more artifacts on display than they'll ever be able to preserve. Indoors, they have fully restored displays of equipment airplanes snow machines and other area items. Outdoors they have two or three complete trains from the Alaska railroad including a section of car as you can wander in and see displays they have a couple big hook cranes a large snow plow and lots of other railroad cars. Especially cool are the two rail buses that used to play the rails in the area they look like things out of a cartoon. Acres of antique farm equipment equipment left over from the Alaska Highway building and other historic items as well as six or eight airplanes three helicopters all of which you can go right up to InTouch, but being Museum try to limit the touching. Are the most unique real vehicles with outside the museum on the entry it has wheels that go forward and railroad wheels at right angles to it to go forward on the track. Looks like a one-of-a-kind for real Buffs cuz I've never seen anything like it before. The outside yard is at least 15 acres and has over a thousand artifacts to see. Lots of vintage tractors track leaders farm equipment fire engines fire trucks steam tractors in a really cool tractor that burn fuel oil once it warmed up You're into Old equipment for their trains trucks tractors or trolleys this museum is a must-see plan to spend at least a couple hours if not more

Pretty fun and very interesting. The volunteers that run the place are super nice and help. Great way to spend some time outdoors and learning.

A very detailed overview of the transportation and communication systems used over the years in this beautiful state of Alaska . From sledges to trains, tractors , buses , aeroplanes and helicopters . Some models are inside the museum and lots of cars, trucks, tractors, aeroplanes to view outside

Amber Lynn

Expect to spend a couple hours at the museum. Best to visit when it is not raining, as most of the stuff is outdoors. Trains, tractors, planes, boats, snow machines... the list goes on. For all ages Toddler to Elderly.

C M Tyler

Wonderful, so much equipment, many vehicles and aircraft to climb in and on.

Rissa Assana

Quiet museum, tucked off the main highway. Easy to get to, if you know what to look for. Lots of space for kids to explore outside too.

Sasha Carlile

There are plenty of exhibits here and not only of transportation items. Was well worth the time to walk through.

MaryEllen Sinclair

Wonderful chance to see history up close. They even have train cars that you can go inside of. Definitely worth the trip if you are in wasilla.

ella durkee

What a JEWEL!!!!!! We were truly impressed with the vast collection of transport in Alaska. Wow! And the staff was friendly and helpful. Great for groups.too. We especially appreciated the historic ice transportation display. A MUST SEE!!

Darlene Maurer

This place was amazing and a great start to our vacation. You get to see the types of buildings that different groups of natives lived in. The docents were teenagers-good to see the younger generation embrace their history. Inside we listened to different groups talk about history and dance. I even bought a jar of salve tgat I have used and it works!

There were a lot of cool things to see but the gift shop didn't have very many options and wasn't very affordable either (also the price go go in is kind of ridiculous considering what you're getting, $5 for a 3 year old, and $5 for retired military but active military and their family is free, while it's $8 for adults and $18 for a conventional family). Also there was no toilet paper in any of the female stalls, and the paper towels were in a basket in front of the entrance instead actually within reach of the sinks. The handicap access to the train exhibit was also shut down, which sucked for those who couldn't use the stairs, but the train itself had a musty, dank, mildew smell to it (which I just chalked up to age).

Gary Hyden

Great experience

Michelle Campbell

Fun! Historically interesting. Happy fourth of July!

Freedom Fighter

Very cool place! Must see

Kevin Taylor

It was great the ppl working there are the best, we will definitely be getting the family pass it was an experience my children will never forget. Thanks for everything you guys did to make it a good day for the kids we will definitely be going again.

Nancy Williams

Have lots of every thing related to transportation.

Nicholas Elliston

Very neat little museum. It's a mix of indoor and outdoor. Made a nice pit stop on our way back to Anchorage from Denali. If you like anything transportation related, it's worth the stop.

John R

There's a small fee to enter but it's totally worth it if you enjoy antique transportation and equipment. Wander around at your own pace and walk through the train.

John Cadiente

One of Wasilla's hidden gems. A look at the history of planes and helicopters. You get a up close and personal look and for some ppl it doesnt get this close ever. I encourage everyone to check it out.

Carol Nordmeyer

Was like a junkyard. Most things weren't even posted so that you knew what they were.

chandra mccain

We love the Transportation Museum! They are great!!

Brian Forrest

The volunteer organization spends countless hours maintaining, preserving, and working to restore the various equipment, and create a welcoming and inviting space for volunteers and the community.

John M

Nice museum. Lots of neat old stuff

Richard Smith

Interesting, informal display of transportation devices uswdt in Alaska.

Charles McKinney

If it has a motor, and it was in Alaska, it's here. Planes, trains, automobiles, boats, tractors, I could go on and on. Had a blast.

Pokemon Trainer 9799

Rusty Meyer

Roy

K. C-D.

Tell me what there is to not love about this place! I come here several times a year. It's always fun to listen to any old railroad people wandering around the place, laughing about how the trains that they started working on our now considered antiques!

Kimberly S. Mietzah Damkoehler

What a neat place. I highly recommend a visit
