Anchorage is a great city to explore with or without renting a vehicle. Like any metropolitan city, there are many transportation options including taxis, limousines, bicycles, motor coaches, and public bus service.
Attractions outside the downtown core offer free shuttles during summer. Hop on the Alaska Native Heritage Center shuttle to learn about Alaska Native customs of both past and present.
Take the free Alaska Zoo shuttle from the Log Cabin Visitor Information Center, on Fourth Avenue and F Street, and enjoy the daily Naturalist Tour.
Lolly the Trolley circulates downtown during summer before arriving at The Ulu Factory. Pronounced “ooloo,” this special knife was invented centuries ago by the Inuit (Eskimo) people of northern Alaska. Make advanced arrangements to be picked up by the Grizzly Junction shuttle and head for the Sourdough Mining Co. Restaurant for dinner, The Adventures of Dusty Sourdough show and a tour of the Wild Berry Park and Village.
Stroll through downtown to see the free 1964 Earthquake Exhibit at the Ship Creek Center, or rent a bicycle and crisscross the community among miles of paved and wilderness trails. Hop on a Segway and see the sites from a whole new perspective or sightsee by horse and carriage. Get the lay of the land on board a flightseeing charter!
