Hello! I’m looking for suggestions on things to do in ANC. I’ve already seen the glaciers, but I’d love to hear if there are any other activities or spots that are really worth driving out to at this time of the year.

 

In town:
Alaska Aviation Museum
http://www.alaskaairmuseum.org/

Downtown Museum
http://www.anchoragemuseum.org/

Alaska Native Heritage Center
http://www.alaskanative.net/

Alaska Zoo
http://www.alaskazoo.org/

Walk along the Coastal Trial, past the airport to Kincaid Park
2009 Foraker Dr, Anchorage, AK 99517

Out of town to the south:
Drive down Seward Hwy towards Girdwood, numerous scenic lookout points

Potter Marsh Wildlife Viewing Boardwalk
2999 E 154th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99516

Beluga Point
Mile 110 Seward Hwy, Anchorage, AK 99540

Continue farther south to Seward (deep water, ice free, cruise ship port)
Alaska Sealife Center
http://www.alaskasealife.org/

Continue driving even farther south to Homer (known as a small drinking village with a fishing problem)
Historic Salty Dawg Saloon

OR, you can drive north to Talkeetna (launching point for Denali air tours, river rafters and mountain climbers)

• Annual Bumfight Fest
• Annual Winter Special Olympics
• Native Girls Gone Wild

No need to leave Anchorage even.
Alternatively you can watch, listen and enjoy Delta pilots and UPS pilots complaining in F-street or enjoy everything soaked in brine to get your alcohol bill up at 49th Street.
If you’re feeling truly adventurous, get roofied at the Gaslight Bar.
Whats in a name.

 

BUSH COMPANY, highly recommended if they are still in business.
Another bar I enjoyed was Pierre Street Annex, they had a special drink called Test Tube Baby, try it..

Debrief at the Moose Lounge was also a must.

My go-to gym when there.

And as @TiredSoul implicated, there are plenty of bored local girls that can keep you "occupied".

 

As a note of caution: The girls OUTSIDE of the Great Alaskan Bush Company bar can be extremely aggresive.
