The 10 Best Shopping in Anchorage, Alaska (AK)

March 23, 2022 Randal Brittian

Set amid the coastal Chugach Mountains, Anchorage defies popular visions of polar ice caps and frozen tundra. It’s also warmer than you think (averaging 65 degrees in summer), making conditions ideal for sight-seeing or taking on uniquely Alaskan opportunities like arctic biking or touring the fjords of Prince William Sound. In the winter, you can ski, dogsled or do both simultaneously by "skijoring," which is cross-country skiing while being towed by a dog. Hey, it's no crazier a winter sport than the biathlon.

Love the Alaska Mint. I have been there more times than I can count; have purchased great quality knives, silver of all variety, and even some gold pieces. Always get my husband some of the best gifts here, too. Amazing staff who are friendly and helpful. Wonderful place!

Oomingmak, Musk Ox Producers' Co-operative

Reviewed By K2503OWthomass - Fort Wayne, United States

While in Anchorage on our way to board our cruise ship in Seward, we stopped in this shop in downtown Anchorage. It was an amazing story of the Musk Ox producers cooperative that hand knit qiviut handknits. We bought a scarve made out of the remarkable yarn. It was rather expensive, but it was hand made be Alaskan knitters.
