I am interested in visiting the Alaska State Museum in Juneau. I would like to know i) how far is it from the cruiser docking point ii) how does one get there - can I use the public transport? Thanks in advance...
A:
All of the major sights are within an easy walk from the cruise ship dock. There is also a nice walk along the shore line park towards the bridge to Douglas Island.
How far is the state Museum from the Norwegian Cruise Line dock? Is public transportation available?

Generally Alaska State Museum is a short walk from the cruise dock however it depends on the specific dock since they are spread out over the equivalent of 6 city blocks. If you dock close in to downtown it is an easy 5 minute walk. If you dock at the far "F" dock it is more like a 20 minute walk. In nice weather the walk is pleasant and accessible along boardwalk or paved sidewalk. There are shops and food vendor trucks to check out along the way. Be sure to stop in at the Juneau Visitor Center for all your information needs. From the cruise ship docks stroll 3-6 blocks or 5-20 minutes along the waterfront past the Main Street traffic light and 1 block further to the second traffic light on Whittier Street. Turn right and away from the waterfront on Whittier Street and find us in the second building (395) on the left set back from a half circle drive. Alternative transportation include taxis, cruise line offered tour buses, car rentals, and even bicycle taxis.

Hi Vickie - thanks for your question! We'll still be closed in July of 2015... we're building a fabulous new facility that will integrate the State Library, Archives and Museum, and so currently we don't have galleries to open! As of June 2015, they're still being built. If you'd like to talk further, call (907) 465-2901 and push "1" to talk with us in the Visitor Services section. We miss hosting visitors and can't wait to re-open in our brand new digs, summer of 2016! Best, Mary I., Visitor Services
