"A beautiful natural experience that's an easy short walk from the parking lot. Great facilities, readily available information and maps, clean parking area. Enjoyed my visit."
"Wonderful hike from the visitor’s center, around Mendenhall Lake, and up to the glacier. The visitor’s center itself is a beautiful piece of architecture. And it is so interesting to see where the glacier used to be before climate change has made it recede."
"A remarkable Alaskan wilderness experience! We arrived during a shower so we felt the wintry elements of freezing temperatures and rainy wetness up front and personal! The natural environment here is lovely but so very harsh that we cannot even imagine how tough and hardy the local inhabitants have to be to survive and alongside the wild life especially bears. The Visitor Centre was small but well equipped as a refuge when the exterior gets too overwhelming. Simple interpretative displays give good insight into the surroundings. Enjoyed the short video. Excellent toilet facilities. Didn’t have enough time and endurance to walk to the Nugget Falls but the panorama from the viewing point does give you a very good impression of the glacial magnificence."
"Outstanding experience. The visitor center has lots of information and is staffed by knowledgeable park rangers who can answer any questions you may have. The glacier is visible from the visitor center and they have convenient telescopes so that you can see it up close. Plenty of picture taking opportunities. Short 2 mile round-trip hike will get you two nugget falls which is well worth the trip."
"Incredible place, beautiful trails, I would highly recommend visiting this spot. We only had 4 hours as our cruise ship stopped in Juneau, but we got a tour off the dock with a local company, they were awesome! The tour was about 75usd each. Basically a narrated ride to the glacier visitors centre, and they drop you there and you can walk to the actual glacier. Definitely not to be missed if you go to Juneau!"
