This young museum 3 miles east of downtown focuses on paleontology with a permanent exhibit of Alaskan fossils belonging to the Bureau of Land Management with interactive features that children especially enjoy. Alaska's Arctic once was warm and humid, and now is a hotspot for dinosaur bone hunters. Temporary annual exhibits have been good, too.
