Sitka Sound Science Center

"We went for the touch tanks, which were a lot of fun for both the kids and adults in our group. The hatchery tour was part of the ticket, and I was apprehensive at first but it ended up being awesome! Our guide, Julie, was so passionate about the ecology of the salmon and we learned some really cool stuff. Plus the tour was only half an hour (touch tanks are at your own pace, we spent about 20 minutes), so we had plenty of time to explore town before we were due back at our ship. I would definitely recommend this one!"

"The science center is absolutely fantastic! From the hatchery to the touch tanks, there's so much to take in, and the staff are always ready to answer any questions you could have."

"Did not enter due to an entry fee. Lots of salmon around. Happened to walk by during the salmon sorting time and was quite amazed by how open they did this. Probably not too suitable for families."

"A nice place to learn about local sea creatures and see some unique ones in the main building."

"Wonderfully interactive aquarium of local sea life. Located in a picturesque setting adjacent to Sitka Historic Park (Totem Park). A must do if you have kids or are a kid at heart. The touch pools were fun and the gift shop had great kids gift items."
