My family of 3 was on an Alaskan cruise. We got off just to adventure no excursions. We are so grateful to have stopped here with our daughter. Thank you for talking and educating us on everything we asked and more. We will never forgot our time here. It was a quick walk maybe 13 minutes from the shuttle drop off. A beautiful walk near the water. Don’t book an excursion through cruises. Travel straight here!
We enjoyed visiting the Sitka Sound Science Center while exploring Sitka.
What We Liked:
• The touch tanks were the highlight of our visit. My son and I enjoyed being able to gently interact with and learn about the different marine animals.
• Informative exhibits that provided insight into Alaska's marine ecosystem.
• A hands-on learning experience that appeals to both children and adults.
• The opportunity to see local sea life up close.
Things to Know:
• We visited with a larger group, which made some areas feel a bit crowded at times, particularly around the touch tanks and exhibits.

Very small aquarium. They hands-on touch tanks. The hatchery was closed when we visited. I don't regret going but they had lots more opportunities for the education of local wildlife for the price. I know most of the business is seasonal. I hope they can expand.
