Q: Are you still offering a Prudhoe Bay excursion?

A: YES, our tour provider has assured us that the lodging that they use in Prudhoe bay is open for the season. For example, the 3 day Arctic Ocean Adventure is most definitely running in 2012, complete with a stay in Prudhoe Bay, and in the rustic village of Coldfoot. This tour is also available with an optional visit to Barrow Alaska, for a great overview of Northern Alaska. These tours have limited space so be sure to book early.

Attending Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater?

Posted on by

Q: Can we attend Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater staying at Denali Cabins?

A: Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater is a popular dinner theater performance conducted in an authentic log paneled roadhouse. This performance is presented at McKinley Chalet Resort, which is located about a mile north of the park entrance. If you are staying at Denali Cabins, you can absolutely attend Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater performance; however, there are few limitations.

Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater operates under two seating each night (there are some nights with only one seating), 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM. If you are staying at Denali Cabins, you can attend the 5:30 PM seating, but not the 8:30 PM seating. 5:30 PM seating works well with the regular shuttle run to and from Denali National Park Visitor Center operated by Denali Cabins, which in turns connect with the shuttle to the Alaska Cabin Nite Dinner Theater provided by the theater. Because the 8:30 PM seating ends after 10:00 PM and the last shuttle run from the Visitor Center to Denali Cabins leaves the Visitor Center at 9:30 PM, it is strongly advised not to take the 8:30 PM seating unless you have your own mode of transportation.

Q: I’m going to Alaska this summer to see the wildlife, when is the best time to come?

A: The best time to see the large game, such as bears, caribou & wolves would be towards the end of the summer months. We can track the bear migrations along the rivers and into the berry patches as the bears move up the mountains after the salmon runs. The wolf puppies have moved out of their dens and into the open plains as they learn of the world that surrounds them. The Caribou migrate in the northern part of Alaska and depending on the weather and size of the herd to determine where and when they migrate. A little known fact about Caribou – they are the same species as reindeer Rangifer tarandus.
