Experience what it was like to pan for gold as you travel back in time to when Anchorage was the crossroads for gold rush adventurers. Maybe you'll hit the motherlode as you pan for gold in a setting that most closely resembles that of the early pioneers. It will be a fun afternoon of learning (and panning) for the whole family at Indian Valley Mine.

Getting into nature's beauty is one thing, but being a part of its very real adventure is something that you can experience by braving the elements on a Nova Raft and Adventure Tour. Nova has been leading rafting trips since 1975, and that distinction makes them Alaska's most experienced wilderness guide company. And it really doesn't matter if you prefer to brave the unrelenting white water or choose instead to paddle along, Nova has a trip that's perfect for you. The daytrip packages are usually four or five hours, and some include glacier hikes. Special overnight excursions are also available.

The Anchorage Symphony Orchestra is a group of performers that takes pride in always offering the most dramatic and satisfying entertainment. This season is no different, as the orchestra is featuring several crowd-pleasing fare as Champagne Pops, the Best of Broadway, Out of This World which couples their performance with images of outer space, and a tribute to the Silent Film era. You won't want to miss these unique and highly entertaining presentations. If you've never been to the symphony, make plans to get dressed up for a magical evening of music that you'll never forget!

If you and the family already know how to ski, great. If you don't, a great place to learn and enjoy all the fun that goes with it is the Alyeska Resort. The resort features skiing during the winter months, and a great variety of other activities the whole family will love like mountain biking, hiking, scenic rides in the sky and much more. So stay at the hotel and plan your Alaskan adventure with the help of the friendly and professional staff at Alyeska Resort.
