Very well done and informative center, not at all surprising given most of these facilities are. Helpful personnel, and arguably the best (only?) tourism-type destination in the town.

This is a surprisingly large and we'll staffed center devoted to the people and lands of Northwestern Alaska. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and will go out of their way to get you up to speed on the opportunities that are waiting for you outside their doors. It includes an excellent museum and multiple programs are offered to locals and visitors alike.

Ranger Jim was knowledgeable and fun to talk with. The displays were informative and educational, and fun, too. We asked to watch the short Kobuk Valley film. They were very friendly and accommodating. Easy walk from the Nullagvik Hotel
