Wonderful, charming, and fun. Great education on the Eskimo lifestyle, dog sledding, and bush planes. All of the staff were pleasant and friendly. The gift shop was quite reasonable, and they have two HUGE moose on display for a photo opp as well as Susan Butcher's Ididarod sled. Really a neat experience!

We filled our last day of our 2 week vacation visiting this place. Enjoyed every minute of it! Excellent narrations from people on shore as we paused in the river. The food feast was great! They sure know how to cook for hundreds!

If you get a chance to take this river cruise, don't pass it up. One of my favorite memories of our trip to Alaska.

It was a great ride in Alaska I saw the old school where they killed everything they ate, wore and made rugs with. I had never been that close to a lot of live animals.
