Ketchikan –
Southeast Alaska Discovery Center (info from the center)
At the Southeast Alaska Discovery Center in downtown
Ketchikan, you can explore the unique natural and cultural history of the
Tongass National Forest, a place where people have lived in harmony with nature
for thousands of years. Stroll through a lush rainforest, visit a re-created
native fishing village and learn how the Tongass sustains Southeast Alaska
communities today. You can also hear the story of the forest in person from one
of our friendly Forest Service rangers, enjoy a film in our comfortable theatre
or help your kids become Junior Rangers. In the summer, join a ranger for a
guided walk and learn about Ketchikan's enduring ties to the rainforest.
We are located at 50 Main Street, just a short walk from
the cruise ship docks. Visit our directions page for driving or walking
directions.
We're open daily
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. all summer long. Admission is just $5 for adults (CC or
cash accepted only), and includes access to all of the center's exhibits,
films and ranger programs. Kids are free when accompanied by an adult, and we
honor and sell all of the America the Beautiful federal passes.
