Excursion options with toddler

[dannip711]

Hi All,

 

Looking for suggestions on excursions that would be good to do with a toddler (she will be 3). We’ve cruised Alaska before but this will be our first with a little one in tow. Our ports are Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka.
 

Some walking is not a problem and she does enjoy animals.

 

TIA!

Duck tour in Ketchikan, maybe the lumberjack show.  Summer dog sled camp in Juneau if they will let her ride the cart.  Junior ranger activities in Skagway,

While Skagway is a great port for families our OP is not going there.

 

Google the Sitka Sound Science Center to see if that might be of interest.  Would the Fortress of the Bear be a possibility?  There is a playground located between the Harrigan Centennial Center and the Science Center.

The Southeast Alaska Discovery Center was n Ketchikan https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/tongass/recarea/?recid=78948

is good for kids to get away from the bustle.

Ketchikan - Lumberjack show and maybe duck boat ride.

Thanks all! I had my eye on the duck tour and I’ll look into the Science Center as well.

We have done Alaska cruises with toddlers and most often they were content to walk about and see things.  I remember one time in Juneau my 3 year old was watching frozen salmon getting loaded off a fishing boat, when a frozen fish tumbled down the conveyor he was in hysterics.  Almost spent an hour there.

 

Yes duck tour is good.  We have never done this, but if there is an excursion you really want to go on, most lines offer port day babysitting at a reasonable cost. Just a thought

We're going to have a three year old with us this summer. In Juneau we're going to rent a car from Turo and drive to some different spots to do some trails/parks, etc. Guess I can't recommend it yet as we haven't done it yet... but we think it will give us some options.
