Local Visitors Centers in Alaska
Visitors Centers
Alaska is incredibly diverse. One great way to take a deeper dive and find out more is to ask a local — and discover your own authentic Alaska. Local convention and visitors bureaus and chambers of commerce can be found in communities across the state. Request a print or digital Official State Vacation Planner before your trip and, while you're here, stop by a visitors center where knowledgeable staff will give you insider tips on the best hiking spots, restaurants, museums, and more. To find out more about Alaska’s state and national public lands, visit one of the Alaska Public Lands Information Centers in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Ketchikan, or Tok.

Visiting the Alaska Native Heritage Center is without a doubt our top recommendation for your next trip to Anchorage. You’ll want to make sure you arrive in time for a guided tour (seriously, there’s soooooo much amazing information) and stay for a performance. Scroll to see a taste of what you’ll get to see (authentic buildings, snow goggles, whale bones, and more) and check out our blog to get some additional information! Link in bio ✨
If you’re not planning a trip to Anchorage anytime soon and would still like to support the valuable work they do, there is an online store and an option to make a donation!

Last year, just before the snow came, I had the opportunity to take on an amazing assignment. It was a collaboration between travelalaska and natgeotravel, where we explored how travelers could experience Indigenous culture in southeast Alaska through local businesses and art. For two weeks, tlingit.witch and I visited some of our favorite local businesses, scenic locations and got to meet some amazing artists we admire.
I’ve included some of my favorite photos from our adventure above, but in the coming week, I will be sharing individual posts about the artists we profiled.
A huge thanks to tlingit.witch, a local Indigenous photographer, for collaborating with me and the entire team at Natgeo to make this project both successful and enjoyable!
Stay tuned for more!

Just outside the Denali National Park’s visitor center, along the route towards Fairbanks on the Parks Highway, lies this breathtaking lookout. I was fortunate to visit during autumn, when the mountains are adorned with vibrant hues of fall colors.
