One of our favorite places to go for special dinners and yummy brunches!

Reasonably priced thai food...that is delicious!
Resurrect Art Coffee House
A church converted into a cozy coffee house.
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
A sure way to spot bear, moose, elk, reindeer and other Alaskan wildlife! If you are driving from Anchorage, it will be 40 miles down the Seward Hwy (the only way to get to Seward...can't miss it :-), on the right.
IdidaRide Sled Dog Tours
A cool experience to be pulled by sled dogs and learn about the races they do in the winter.
Stoney Creek Canopy Adventures
Soar through the forest for some adrenaline rushes!
Exit Glacier Trailhead
An easy 1 mile hike to a pretty cool local glacier!
Alaska SeaLife Center
An aquarium with opportunities to see (and touch) local sea life.
Marathon Helicopters
We used this company to do our engagement pictures - and it was magical!
Alaska Horsemen Trail Advntrs
Jacob, my niece and I went horseback riding here and had so much fun! Located about an hour away in a cute little town called Cooper Landing, the horse back riding offers a great way to see some of the most breathtaking scenery of the Kenai Peninsula. There's also many trails to hike around here. Be sure to stop by Sackett's for some of the best smoked brisket nachos ever!
Chugach Outdoor Center
Go white water rafting or take a nice float down a scenic river! This fun activity is located a little over an hour away from Seward. My mom, nieces and I have down the scenic float - and it was a blast. The white water rafting is supposed to be some of the most exhilarating rapids in the world!
Denali National Park and Preserve
Denali National Park is an amazing place to view breathtaking scenery and wildlife! It will be closing after September 20th, so consider coming early to go visit beautiful national park before coming to Seward for wedding festivities. Where you would go to visit in the park (take a bus tour), is about 4.5 hours from Anchorage and 6.5 hours from Seward. Near the park is also highly recommended white water rafting (for all ages) and zip-line tour.
