If you're unsure where you and your kids can visit during your stay, consider the following.

3 Child-Friendly Places to Visit When Traveling to Anchorage

1. Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

A trip to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a must for families whose kids love animals. It provides shelter for many injured and orphaned creatures, including moose, bison, foxes, bears, and wolves. 

Depending on the species, visitors can not only see the animals up close, but they can even feed them. However, there are distinctions based on age. For example, kids must be 12 years or older to offer food to the bears.

2. Anchorage Museum

The Anchorage Museum features 170,000 square feet of art, artifacts, and interactive installations. Its expansive size ensures there's something that interests everyone. 

There's also a dedicated area designed for kids known as the Discovery Center. Your children can even get a little "passport" that details all the exhibits and experiments they traveled to throughout the exhibition. 

3. Alaska Railroad

To experience the ultimate sightseeing tour in Anchorage, travel by train. A railroad trip is excellent for antsy kids, as they'll have space to roam around rather than being cramped in a car. You can choose from various routes, but if you want the most diverse option, consider going from Anchorage to Seward. This journey gives you and your family a preview of the coast and the mountains.
