The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center is the great stop you can make before you visit Juneau?s most famous tourist attraction: the Mendenhall Glacier. This site is actually a drive-in glacier, adding charm to the whole package.

The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center is sort of an entrance to the place. It houses several glaciology exhibits, telling visitors more about the site. Here, you can learn the history of the place and how nature worked to present it the way it is at present before or even after you go see the real deal. There?s also a theatre that shows the film ?Magnificent Mendenhall?.

The Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center is also equipped with hiking trails and viewing platforms where you can see black bears and salmon down the Steep Creek.
