6 Alaska Attraction Reviews You Can Trust
Quick summaries of six of the most-loved stops in the 2026 Alaska TourSaver® coupon collection. Click any card to read the full review of
that attraction — what to expect, who it's best for, and exactly how much you can save.
ANCHORAGE
OUR REVIEW
The country's only zoo dedicated to Arctic and sub-Arctic wildlife sits on 25 wooded acres on Anchorage's south side. Walk shaded forest trails past polar bears, brown and black bears, wolves, lynx, musk ox, snow leopards, and 85+ species — many of them rescues. A low-key, high-value half-day that gets you closer to Alaska's iconic animals than almost anywhere else in the state.

ANCHORAGE
OUR REVIEW
If you only make one cultural stop in Alaska, make it the Alaska Native Heritage Center. The Hall of Cultures introduces the five major Alaska Native culture groups through exhibits, film, and live performances, while the outdoor lakeside trail circles six traditional dwellings where culture bearers share their ancestors' stories. Plan two to three hours; free shuttle in summer.

ANCHORAGE
OUR REVIEW
The bright red Anchorage Trolley is the fastest, most fun way to get your bearings in Alaska's biggest city. This narrated, one-hour, 15-mile loop rolls past Ship Creek, downtown landmarks, Earthquake Park, Cook Inlet overlooks, and Lake Hood — the world's busiest floatplane base. Perfect on day one so you know what to return to on foot later.

PORTAGE / GIRDWOOD
OUR REVIEW
Just 48 miles south of Anchorage, the one-hour Portage Glacier Cruise aboard the mv Ptarmigan gets you within 300 yards of the glacier face — close enough to hear the ice groan and calve. A U.S. Forest Service
ranger narrates, the cabin is heated and glass-walled, and there's an open-air upper deck. Five sailings daily, mid-May to mid-September.

SEWARD
OUR REVIEW
On the shore of Resurrection Bay in Seward, the Alaska SeaLife Center is the state's only public aquarium — and a working marine research and rescue facility. Watch puffins dive underwater, meet Steller sea lions
eye-to-eye, and reach into a touch tank. Two hours easy; premium behind-the-scenes encounters are the highlight for many visitors.

Alyeska Aerial Tram Review
GIRDWOOD
OUR REVIEW
Just 40 miles south of Anchorage in Girdwood, the Alyeska Resort Aerial Tram glides 2,025 vertical feet up Mount Alyeska in a seven-minute ride. On clear days, the summit delivers the money shot — seven hanging glaciers draped across the Chugach peaks in a single panorama. Open year-round; pair it with a meal at Seven Glaciers or Bore Tide Deli.

Frequently Asked Questions
These pages are designed to be your one-stop reviews hub. Each of the six attraction reviews is written from firsthand experience and updated for the 2026 season — covering what to expect, who it's best for, how long to plan, and how much you can save with a TourSaver coupon. We also recommend cross-checking with recent Google and TripAdvisor reviews; just look for ratings posted within the last 12 months for the most accurate picture of current service.
TourSaver offers three options for 2026: the Statewide package (the complete collection), a SouthCentral & Interior Alaska package (over$12,000 in savings value), and an Inside Passage package (over $3,000 in savings value). Pricing is published on the TourSaver.com order page, and one redeemed coupon typically covers the cost.
Each coupon has a unique book number. You present the coupon (in print or in the app) at the venue's ticket desk — for example, at the Alyeska Tram counter, the Alaska SeaLife Center admission desk, or the Portage sales desk. Some offers require you to mention the coupon at booking; check each listing's fine print before you travel.
Yes. The Alaska Zoo, Alaska Native Heritage Center, Anchorage Trolley, Portage Glacier Cruise, Alaska SeaLife Center, and Alyeska Aerial Tram are all included in the SouthCentral & Interior Alaska coupon collection. The Statewide package includes this collection plus the Inside Passage coupons.
Generally no — TourSaver offers are not combinable with other promotions, and some have blackout dates, capacity limits, or require advance reservations. Each coupon in the book and app lists its specific restrictions and valid dates.
Many travelers love the app because it's always in your pocket, shows a map of every offer, and never gets left in the hotel. Others prefer the tactile print book for gifting or planning. The good news: both formats are supported, and your unique book number works across devices.
