Fun Things To Do In Alaska | Alaska Vacation Ideas
Checking out local businesses in Wasilla, AK, can be a fun time during your Alaska vacation. Stop by BAD GRAMM3R, the best Alaska dispensary, but Wasilla has more to see than just our dispensary (although come through to see us too). Alaska is becoming a hotspot for travel, and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley is at the center of many popular destinations.
Here are just a few of the fun things you can do while you’re in Alaska.
See The DR. Seuss House
The bestselling author or popular children’s books has never lived here. So why is it called the Dr. Seuss House?
You’ll know when you see it!
This 185-foot-high, 17-floor log cabin is an engineering masterpiece. The house is still under construction after 20 years, and the property is privately owned, but the house is viewable from miles around and well worth the look.
Visit Independence Mine State Park
This abandoned gold mine has been converted to the 271-acre window to history. Guests will be able to hike scenic trails, see antique mining machinery, roam the museum, and even the opportunity to pan for gold! Take a ride out to the Alaska mountains and experience the wild west.
Catch Some Dinner | Salmon Fishing In Alaska
Silver, Pink, Chum, Sockeye, and, of course, the great King Salmon all roam our Alaskan rivers just waiting to give you a good fight! The best salmon in the world come from the pristine waters in and around Wasilla. Get here for the prime season between May and October and scope out a good spot for the hunt. Silver Salmon are the wiliest fighters and can be a lot of fun to catch. But there’s nothing like the thrill of pulling in a full-grown king! You can stalk these trophies in Big Lake or Sutton towards the end of the season.
If you’re in Alaska in the winter months you can still get your angling fix: there are plenty of ice fishing tours in the offseason.
Ride With The Redington’s
You don’t need to be a fan of dog sledding to love The Iditarod! Check out the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race Headquarters in Palmer AK. You’ll find a museum, guided tours, gift shop, video room, and dog cart rides all summer long.
Witness PreHistory
Walk The Matanuska Greenbelt
The glaciers of the last Ice Age carved this gorgeous 33-mile trail. Every year, thousands of people come to these pet-friendly trails to hike, geocache, mountain bike, X-country ski, or just get lost in nature to find themselves. Visiting the Matanuska Greenbelt is the best way to see Alaska and feel the history here.
Visit Our Cannabis Dispensary In Wasilla, AK
The best Mat-Su Valley MMJ dispensary is right here in Wasilla. BAD GRAMM3R has the freshest legal cannabis products at the most reasonable prices around. Come into BAD GRAMM3R before you explore the rest of Wasilla and introduce yourself!
