We stopped by for some information on the community. Most of our trip was focused in the Petersburg area with 3 days spent in Juneau. Lots of things to do while there and never a dull moment. Wonderful community!
We stopped in here for information during our visit to town for Mayfest. The folks here are super helpful in helping you decide what to do and see in Petersburg. The only problem is they are open rather short hours. Definitely stop in and chat a bit at the start of your visit. It'll make your time in Petersburg much more interesting.
Le visitor center de Peterburg sait accueillir les gens de passage. Vous y trouverez tous les renseignements que vous souhaitez sur la ville, l'ile Baranoff ou la Tongass Forest. En plus, ce qui est le principal, l'accueil est très agréable et sympathique !
The staff was very friendly & helpful & provided LOTZA xlnt brochures & maps !There is much to see - in & around Petersburg & they will help direct you !
Standard fair for a visitor center. It did have maps and recipes for local fish that one can catch. Very nice lady with some local insider information though.
The information centre staff were very keen to find out our interests and went to some lengths to ensure we had all the information we needed. Maps and brochures were plentiful and extra advice given on the range of good eating places in town.
You have to stop by here just to talk to some of the friendliest people on the planet. This place makes you feel welcome. You betcha...
I've lived in Petersburg and also visited as a tourist and it is one of Alaska'a best towns for fishing, nature walks, and community living. Lots of local events in the summer & very tourist friendly without being touristy. Even if you are just tagging along with a fisherman, if you enjoy nature & friendly locals, there is lots to see & enjoy. Can't wait to head back (again) this summer!
The lady working here was very knowledgeable about all things Petersburg, and the surrounding islands. She told us stories about the stuffed fish on the walls, the photographs, the history of the place and stuff to do around the island. Cute building and convenient to the Scandia hotel, and the "main street"
These people know the area, the history and want to help you make the most of your time in Petersburg and surrounding areas. Don't miss a stop or call to these very friendly folks.
