This is a beautiful park filled with clan houses and totem poles. Due to the nature of this outdoor park, any of the items shown could be classified as a museum. Overall, this was a great experience.

A wonderful collection of totem poles and clan buildings owned by a native group. The gift shop has the best prices of all the shops we’ve been to in the 8 days we’ve been in Alaska. Also a nice variety of merchandise. Because of the reasonable prices, lines at the register were very long when the cruise ship tours were there.

Very neat place with a lot of very cool totems. The museum has a good amount of older cars, firearms, and native items to read and learn about. Very beautiful scenery in the whole area. Glad we took the time to go.

I didn't expect much from this cruise excursion, but I hadn't met our guide Robert. How engaging, how cheerful, and how knowledgeable! So eager to share his experience of Alaskan indigenous cultures. The park was a pocket of really nice carvings. I was amazed by the similarities to the Maori culture of New Zealand.
