Not worth the money
By ,
The outdoor exhibits were all very similar, and the guides were not helpful. We paid over $70 for a family of four to get in, and it was pretty lame. We paid have that for the Anchorage Zoo, and it was a MUCH better experience.

Alaska

Great place would give 5 stars if the polynesian cultural center in hawaii wasnt so fanatastic. Great gift shop, food services workers are a little like chicken with there heads cut off, but everything else is nice, films, the outdoor village sites

Talking with local people was great.
By ,
The special thing about the ANHC was having the opportunity to talk with people from the villages around Alaska. Everyone seemed really devoted to presenting life in the villages in a realistic manner. It was especially good to see the commitment the high school aged kids had to learning the traditions and demonstrating them in an honest way. If you go, be sure to take time to talk with the folks in every role there: docents, administrative people, vendors, cooks, servers, etc. The all were delighted to be working at this neat place and happy to tell their own story. This was well worth the price of entry, especially as I bought the "combo ticket" giving entry to the art and history museum downtown. That was a fine stop as well.

Learning about my grandchildren
By ,
I have been to the Alaska Native Heritage Center twice. My daughter was married to a Tliiingit and they had three children. They and I learned more about their culture by visiting the center. When I visit Alaska and have a friend with me, I will always take them to the center. I was there with a friend that had never been to Alaska before last May. She enjoyed the center. I will be back when I visit my daughter, grandchildren & great grandchildren. Joyce Sihler,

A cultural hit!
By ,
Excellent display of Native Alaskan culture! Enjoyed the dance performances, the trail through the native structure displays, and the museum displays. When we arrived bears had to be chased from the veranda which only added to the already enriched cultural experience.

A must see!
By ,
Alaskans, above anything else, are very proud of their history. They're proud to be Alaskans. To truly understand the history of the area, you need to stop at the Heritage Center. It's awesome!

Great Heritage Tour and Information
By ,
Enjoyed that the tour guides could tell us about their tribe and the region of Alaska they were from. The story dancers were fantastic. The dancing was very discriptive and the young dancers were enjoying what they were doing, you could tell this by their expressions and their dancing.

great
By ,
It is a good place for tourists, and locals alike to learn about our indiginous people. Alaska has 20 native languages to learn about. they have dances, potlauches, and learning workshops. They sell native art work that is authentically hand crafted by alasnkan natives. They have an outside replica of an old time village. It is fun.
