This was extremely helpful for individuals who needed some help. Several stages were spread out across the fairgrounds for various entertainment. A barbershop quartet performed and hubby judged them to be good. Fair food variety was the name of the game - hubby ate spinach bread, blueberry crisp with whipped cream on top. Several native dance/singing groups also performed. One beautiful dance re-enacted by the group was of the "Eagle". A horse exhibition was performed under a tent - hubby thought he almost was run down. That group was from Florida, a happy coincidence. A puppy show was also seen outdoors in the red section. Rescue dogs were trained to perform various tricks, amusing everyone who saw them. Be prepared to take things slowly at the Fair - it's very crowded and the fairgrounds are large and very spread out.

We just discovered a baseball field and TWO ice rinks on the East end of the park down by the train engine. SUPER COOL! One of the ice rinks is first come first served and the other appears to require a reservation but I believe is free. It looks to be intended for ice hockey games. Cool beans

It won't wow with adrenaline or exhibits, but it delivers on Alaska's beauty and history. Perfect for families, photographers, and anyone who prefers slow-paced nature experiences. Birdwatchers and photographers will appreciate the variety of birds and occasional moose sightings, and there are several scenic points worth stopping at for photos -- especially at sunrise or sunset. Pros * Free entry, free parking, and easy access. * Beautiful coastal and mountain views. * Historical interpretive signs. * Ideal for light hiking, biking, or a picnic. Cons * Mosquitoes can be intense in summer, so bug spray is a must. * Limited facilities beyond trails and scenic spots.

They also have a volleyball court, playground, children's bike course, and beautifully landscaped facility. This is much more on par with what you would expect in the lower 48. They also have a nice set of short trails (not safe for children who are incapable of following directions due to shear cliffs), but other than that they are fairly easy with nice views and not terribly difficult.

Downtown Anchorage was pretty dead the day after Iditarod, with no food carts in sight. The carnival was a little small and there weren't that many food options (they had the reindeer nuggets advertised, but said they weren't doing them that day). The fur auction was kind of cool to check out, but the best part was the snow sculpture competition (despite the warm temperatures) and the discounted horse drawn carriage rides. 2025 #29

Where else do you see dog-sled races, outhouse races, snow sculptures, a carnival, and other things all in a small area? Definitely worth planning a visit to coincide with as there is plenty of other things to do in the area. Just be mindful that you'll need to make reservations for restaurants in the area as they fill up fast and you'll end up waiting for a long time.
