Anchorage Museum

Another stop we made in Anchorage was the Anchorage Museum in the downtown area. We were a little skeptical going in as the kids are older and most hands on stuff is made for the younger crowd but we were really impressed. To be honest it was the only area we went in, there was more museum that we never touched. It is really worth the price of it's admission.

So we started off in the bubble room, the kids had a blast making massive bubbles out of all kinds of items.
















We then headed into the enviornment room which taught about earthquakes, tsunamis, wind, heat and water and all the enviornmental elements.  Here is Sassy learning how the wind can change the enviornment!

The ids were even able to pet some baby alligators(who would have thunk in Alaska they would pet alligator, penguins maybe but alligators?!) We then headed off to the kinetic energy room where the kids learned about magnets, infrared, air power and much much more! We capped off our visit with a stop in their planetarium for a show about the Aurora(Northern Lights). It was interesting but after seeing them in person it just wasn't the same. All in all, I would highly recommend going to this museum if you visit the Anchorage area, especially in the winter time!
