We also have a full day in Anchorage before our cruise. We're planning to drive to the Alyeska resort near Girdwood.

 

The Aviation museum near the airport also looks interesting.

If you go to Girdwood, the Bake Shop (behind the Jade Shop) is a great place for lunch.

If it is raining, we like the Museum of History and Art downtown in Anchorage. You can eat lunch there or across the street in the Federal Building. There is another great museum of Alaska art in the Wells Fargo Building out C street.

And if you want to shop for real Alaskan crafts and have a car, the Native Hospital up Tudor Road is open midday throughout the week. Crafts are brought into the hospital from all over Alaska, and they aren't marked up as much as the ones in the shops. Nancy

www.anchorage.net will give you tons of ideas! I'm still on countdown to my first trip, but from the reports on here, I'd probably use that one day to go to Hatcher Pass and the Alaska Native Heritage Museum.

Or if you want to drive north the town of Talkeetna is nice and we saw moose all along the way! There are options for rafting and flightseeing to Denali from there if you have enough time.....
