10 Things to do Good for Kids in Kodiak Island That You Shouldn't Miss

September 14, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Kodiak Island, sitting off the Southern coast of Alaska in the Kodiak Archipelago, is home to the city of Kodiak, Alaska's largest fishing port, famous for catches of king crab and salmon. The island is also home to the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, which takes up almost two-thirds of the island and protects populations of Kodiak brown bears, all six species of Pacific salmon and 250 species of birds. With a lovely temperate marine climate, Kodiak promises outdoor fun, all year long.

Reviewed By jbo72046

we took a taxi to the entry of the park and then walked the very easy and pleasant roadway to the ww2 historic museum and area. You can take a few different trails through the bushland instead of walking the roadway and we did this on the way back to the entry point where our taxi returned a few hours later to collect us. The ww2 museum is not just a quick look ...you need to allow at least an hour or more to take in the various displays and information provided. If you aren't interested in ww2 memorabilia , then you can skip the museum (which would really be a shame) and just walk the lovely trails ...easy walking, easy grades and well maintained paths. we didn't see any bears although I was a bit nervous...but the lookouts from the various high points across the water are just fabulous and I soon forgot to worry about bears. Don't take an organised bus tour...they rush you in and out and you will miss out on so much. Take a taxi/cab and allow a couple of hours at least to appreciate the wonderful place. and if you DO go to the museum, there is a man there ( I think he is the manager or chief volunteer, together with his wife) who has knowledge that will hold you spellbound. Not just for that area but for Alaska's pivotal role in ww2. Very interesting and such a clear explanation. Hope you go and hope you allow plenty of time.

Well worth a visit. Yes it's a small museum but its engaging exhibits use multimedia as well as interactive activities to tell the history and culture of the Alutiiq on Kodiak, so there is something for everyone in varied group. The gift shop has reasonably priced, authentic jewelry.
