Since Alaska features such an expansive and rustic landscape, it's no wonder that its development and growth owes much to the field of aviation. The Alaska Aviation Museum documents the role that aviation has played in the state's history and growth from 1897 up to the present day. You'll see exhibits and attractions that tell the story of Alaska's WWII fliers, early bush pilots, as well as efforts to preserve vintage aircraft. The museum is located at the largest seaplane facility in the world, and all that space affords the presentation of scale models, restored planes and even a theater that presents films on the various aircraft.
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.
Club Paris invites you to class it up tonight at their elegant nightlife establishment. When you walk in, you'll know that you've discovered something special. There's big band and jazz on the jukebox and wine and martini's being served up. This is the place to bring someone who you want to get to know better, and the elegant atmosphere means that you can actually have a conversation that the two of you will actually hear and not have to shout at each other! Club Paris is no ordinary bar, this is a completely first-class experience!
