My handicapped child wanted to go to visit the Alaska wilderness, and they had everything in place to make the lodging and tours accessible for us... They even picked us up from the airport. I can't wait to do all of the tours! Thank you so much for the beautiful memories. Karen S. from Montgomery, AL - August 2009
My wife and I honeymooned in Alaska and had the most breathtaking experience on the Prince William Sound cruise. The water was incredibly calm, and the glaciers magnificent. Dinner was also fantastic. Stephen Z. from Montreal, QB - March, 2009
What a lovely experience we had! I will recommend this place to anyone who is coming to Alaska. You have a wonderful staff, very friendly and welcoming. THANKS! Steve Y. from Kenwood, PA - August, 2008
At Gold Dredge No. 8,
you
will be offered a variety of experiences. A short video with actual footage of
dredge in operation provides an overview of the entire stripping, thawing, and
dredging processes. Afterwards, you are encouraged to wander through the
attraction's Bunk House, Bath House and Dredgemaster's House as well as the
Supply Center to view interpretive panels and exhibits in order to learn more
about dredges, the daily life of the dredge crews, and the operations of the
Fairbanks Exploration Company.
Next, you are guided through the dredge itself to view its equipment and gain a better understanding of its size. Finally, supplied with an individual "poke" of dirt, you learn first-hand how to pan for gold and keep what you find!
