After visiting Devils brewery and the Amalga distillery (both worth a visit, btw), we took a peek on Trip Advisor for nearby activities and this showed up. It was a short block and a half from the distillery, so we walked there. The door was locked, but we called the number on the door and the owner was happy to drive from her home and meet us. I was the only person in our group of 4 that had previous experience with an escape room, so she suggested we do Espionage 1. She clearly explained how the game would work and even went upstairs to the bar to order us some drinks to enjoy during our one-hour game. Everyone in our group was able to contribute to the clue-solving and it was a challenging room. We had to ask for several clues along the way and were able to earn some additional clues by doing silly tasks that were fun. Overall, it was a completely entertaining and fun way to spend an hour with friends. If you're done shopping the touristy shops and are looking for a fun off-the-beaten-path experience, I highly recommend this place!!!!!

If you WANT to see bears, take an excursion. This is a beautiful trail with history--Alaska's first road. I was lucky as it was sunny the day that I hiked on this trail, but the weather can change quickly to pouring rain, so coming prepared is a must. The scenery is absolutely worth it!

There is less elevation gain but the views are spectacular. If you take your kids with you, make sure they understand the concept of how painful it can be if they decide to walk off the trail when climbing up steep grades. Enjoy the fresh air and experience nature on this historic trail.

Twin Lakes Kids Playground - Juneau, AK…read more While spending the day in Juneau off our cruise ship, we needed a place where the kids could burn off some energy -- and Twin Lakes Kids Playground was a perfect choice. Tucked right by the lakeside, this playground was a pleasant surprise. The park was very clean and clearly well-maintained, with a wide variety of equipment to keep little ones busy. The kids especially loved the rock climbing wall and the swing-glider -- but there were plenty of other engaging activities for different age levels. From climbing structures to creative play areas, they had more than enough to explore. It was a great change of pace from sightseeing and a chance for the kids to just be kids. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Juneau with young ones and need a break from the usual tourist stops!

We booked them through the cruise line to take us to see bears in the wild. First, the positives. The people were nice. It was a small outfit, but they had a mini-bus to get us at the dock and then had the plane waiting behind their office. Now the negatives. On the island (Chichagof Island) they were less organized. The van wasn't waiting for us, and when it did come they had to drop other folks off at a dock before our tour began. The people were still nice, but there seemed to be confusion about what time they were supposed to have met us. And while I understand that they can't guarantee bears, they should wait until bears are active. The guides told us that the salmon weren't running yet so the bears were more elusive. (So what were we doing out there?!) The salmon (and bears) become plentiful in late June, and into July. This had the potential to be totally awesome, but they were so eager to fill seats on their tour that they didn't consider that the bears weren't really out in force yet. If this had been in the middle of salmon season I could excuse the lack of bears since it's not really fair to hold them responsible for what nature does or doesn't do. But when they KNOW we're early, they shouldn't even offer the trip. It was really disappointing. I can't comment on their other outfitting activities. They may be outstanding. I think it's up to the buyer to verify if their activity of choice is really in-season or not. Don't assume they'll tell you before you sign-up. (Though, to be fair, since I signed up through the cruise line I have to put some of the blame on them for offering an excursion "out of season", so to speak.) If you are "in-season" with your activity, these folks did seem to be very nice and had a reasonable amount of equipment for fly fishing and cold weather in their office.

The Glacier herself is receding, but the Parks area and camping facilities are placed in areas where all you can say is "Oh my God'. The scenery, the air, the "feeling" is something that is a once in a lifetime opportunity that should not be passed on. Please do not come if you are looking for "Showers", running water and 5 star hotels. There are Restroom facilities, conveniently located throughout the campsites, with Potable Water, but this experience is what camping/fishing is all about. Jenn and I and Jersey and Chopper stayed at Black Bear Campground, and for Motor homes there is the Williwaw Camp grounds. The campsites are clean, and deep rooted in the forest system. They are laid out by the Glacier rivers, which puts you no more than 50-75 yards away from the streams where you can watch the Salmon runs of all the Salmon breeds. You can't fish in that area, but fishing is just down the road.
