Enter Glacier Gardens' unbelievable world of upside-down trees, with beautiful plants from around the world and a sanctuary of flowers. Here, you will find the original flower towers, inspired by a happy mistake, and take a guided tram ride up the mountainside through the Tongass National Forest to view Juneau from 600 feet asl. Heading back down through the forest, step into the pleasingly aromatic atmosphere of flowers in the main pavilion.
Take some time to browse in the Glacier Gardens gift shop.
Travel by coach to Overstreet (Whale) Park. A life-size breaching whale statue and fountain makes for an impressive centerpiece. Take in the panoramic views of Gastineau Channel and check out Native culture in the form of totems. These are dotted about the park and along the adjacent seawalk. Stroll the seawalk for terrific views of Juneau's city waterfront.
Notes:
Tour is accessible to guests using a collapsible wheelchair. Tour requires walking short distances. Terrain includes a few steps (up and down). Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Glacier Gardens' outdoor areas may not be in full bloom in May; however, the indoor pavilion features floral displays in full bloom all year round.
