Southeast Alaska Discovery Center
Southeast Alaska Discovery Center Review
This impressive public lands interpretive center features exhibits—including one on the rain forest—that focus on the resources, Native cultures, and ecosystems of Southeast Alaska. The U.S. Forest Service and other federal agencies provide information on Alaska's public lands, and a large gift shop sells natural-history books, maps, and videos about the sights in Ketchikan and Southeast. America the Beautiful-National Park and Federal Recreational Land Passes are accepted and sold.
