Welcome to Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure. We invite you to tour our fifty acres of Southeast Alaska's lush rainforest offering landscaping, floral design, and scenic vistas. Easy accessible pathways lead you to ponds, bubbling waterfalls, and exquisitely designed gardens with spectacular views of the Mendenhall Valley and its pristine surroundings. You will enjoy this guided tour from the comfort of our deluxe covered golf carts. Be sure to check out the Garden Gift Shop and Wild Berry Cafe located in the atrium.
The temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska is distinguished by it's many canopy layers and the presence of lichen, mosses and ferns living on the surface of other plants and its dense, shrubby undergrowth.
You will experience this lush rainforest as you are guided to the 580 foot level of Thunder Mountain.
Blueberry, huckleberry and false Azaleas border the pathways in their natural setting. Fern, mosses, and dogwood cover the fertile soil enjoying the protection of the towering trees above.
This is just a sampling of the many plants you will see during your adventure.
