It's pretty good. You can see wild black bears and brown bears, which are protected after being injured in the wild and fenced for everyone to visit, as well as some other animals. It's not far from Anchorage, and you will pass by here after getting off the boat at Whittier Pier.

This park offers an easy hiking trail with great views of the glacier. It's a beautiful trail (especially during the fall foliage season) and takes you to some nice viewpoints (and to the moraine at the base of the glacier). Along the trail (and on the road leading to the parking lot) there are signs indicating where the edge of the glacier extended to in previous years (which makes the reduction in size very obvious).

Was in town with lower 48 people from different states to share and educate each other about the differences in the housing industry. So everyone enjoyed the guided tours of various living places between various tribes. Our guide was 50% local, although I regretfully forgot her tribe. She was in her early 20s but was well educated and knowledgeable. We asked questions and she never stumbled over answers. There were very few displays inside and they were not very detailed otherwise this would be 5 stars for me. Very informative about completely different ways of living
