Thanks for the tip. In all my visits I've never made it into the Discovery Center, but now free is always good :) I wonder if the Alaska museum in Juneau offers any discounts?

No discounts, but it is definitely worth seeing.

When my parents were up this summer I dragged them down to the Alaska Public Lands office on 4th Ave and had them get theirs. At $10 for LIFE, it's a steal. The regular pass at $80 a year is a good buy if you are going to be visiting National Parks.
