    I would love to know what recommendations you might have as well. We are going on the June 21st trip and will be arriving on the 20th. Thanks.

    It has been many years since I have been in Anchorage, but there are tons of things to do and see within walking distance of the Captain Cook hotel. I have nothing specific to suggest, but once there, the hotel staff can direct you to lots of stuff depending on your interests.

    Hi Cathy,

    This is the official tourism site. I'm sure this will give you lots of pointers.

    There is a bike path that goes around the city...Tony Knowles Bike Path (I think). There is a bike rental store not far from the hotel. Depends on if you are into a bike ride. The path is a long one, but you don't have to take the whole thing. You might even see moose along the way. YouTube has some videos on it. Take a look if you are interested.

    Great restaurants downtown Anchorage! Here are some local favorites......I have lived here since 1984!
    Club Paris
    Ginger
    Simon & Seafort
    Orso
    Glacier Brewhouse
    Doesn't sound like you will be here for a weekend, but Saturday Market is always interesting! (also open on Sunday)
    The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is great as an earlier post suggested. I would also recommend Anchorage Museum. check out their website to see what exhibits they have during your visit https://www.anchoragemuseum.org/
    If you have a car, Alaska Native Heritage Center and Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (the drive here is beautiful) are also winners! Have a wonderful time!! Weather here lately has been AWESOME..hope it stays that way for your visit. But, let's face it....no one comes to Alaska for the weather LOL !
