What to do in Juneau after Mendenhall?

[Cleo21]

We will be in Juneau in mid June, taking a 2.5 hour Mendenhall Glacier Excursion offered by the cruise ship.  We'll have about 5 hours left over to look around after the excursion.  Are there any sights, shopping, restaurants that are walkable from the cruise terminal?  Don't want to do another excursion but would love to walk around a bit. Thanks for any info!

The cruise docks in Juneau are mostly adjacent to town. There is a ton of shops, bars, restaurants and museums within walking distance. There is an aerial tram that takes you up to top of a mountain, which is nice if the weather is clear. There is one cruise dock, the AJ Dock, that is a twenty minute walk from the main dock area. The cruise line should have a shuttle in that case.

Do a search of the Whale Project and AK museum. Both close to the Douglas Island Bridge. People have raved about the Hanger restaurant (very close to the seaplane dock) on the way. Nice webcam views here. TheSnowCloud Juneau area Webcams

A cable car ride up to Mount Roberts starts near the pier and offers an amazing view of the area.  Mount Roberts is also the home of Lady Baltimore, a permanently injured bald eagle, that will look you in the eye from just a few feet away.

Is there a way to determine where your ship will dock? I located several different schedules, but they only show the ships and their times in port. Thanks!

Here is a link to the Juneau Berth Maps to see the names and location of the berths:  Juneau Cruise Ship Berths
