  If coming by cruise ship, your tender will drop you off right at this warehouse. The warehouse is a 100 year old restored Salmon Cannery. There are several buildings housing different types of shops; one selling glass works, jewelry, a few with art, native crafts, candles, etc and several have more souvenir type items like shirts and jackets. Prices were on par with other shops in Alaska.You could easily spend over an hour quickly browsing through the shops, which are locally owned (versus the cruise lines coming in and putting in T-shirt shops & diamond stores found in other ports).The entire complex is large and has restaurants, a canning museum, tribal areas, zip line adventure, and more.We went to town for a tour and I didn't really see anywhere else to go shopping for local items. So, these shops are your best bet. They are close to the ship and all in one area.

  The salmon processing machine was cool but you can review that in 15 mins. Most shops were the same trinkets you could get at every other port. Grab some fresh crab after the attractions on the pier and eat up quick before it all gets cold. Shops can be skipped unless you need souvenirs for family and friends back home.

  Lots of shops including some of locally made wares which is preferential to imported cheap stuff. Also it is staffed by locals too. Reasonable prices by cruise ship standards.
