The Alaska Raptor Center is home to owls, hawks, bald eagles, and other birds of prey. Sitka also has a long history with fine arts and was once known as the "Paris of the Pacific." You can book an excursion to visit several art galleries and learn how to pull a Venetian-style glass cane.

Skagway was an important part of the Gold Rush era, growing in size from a place with only a few small tents to more than 20,000 people arriving in hopes of finding gold. If you are excited to learn more about the Gold Rush era, don't miss visiting the Gold Rush National Historic Park. A fun way to explore Skagway is to book a tour that includes a trip on the White Pass Railway. Here, you'll board a vintage railcar for some interesting historical facts about the Gold Rush and beautiful views.
