Frommer's Review
This young museum 3 miles east of downtown focuses on paleontology with a permanent exhibit of Alaskan fossils belonging to the Bureau of Land Management, including interactive features that children especially enjoy. Alaska's Arctic once was warm and humid, and now is a hot spot for dinosaur bone hunters. Temporary annual exhibits have been good, too.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
