The Aurora Ice Museum is the world's largest year-round ice environment. Not to mention, it has an ice bar.

4. Igloo City in Cantwell
Constructed in the 1970s, this building mimics the look of an igloo but was never actually put to use. On your way through Cantwell, Alaska check the Igloo out; apparently there have been reports of ghost sightings in this run down building!
5. Santa Claus Statue in North Pole
The North Pole is home to the largest Santa statue in the world AND it has real live reindeer for your viewing pleasure!
6. Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel outside of Whittier
On your way to Whittier you'll pass through the longest mountain single-lane highway tunnel in North America. The cool part is it has jet engine air filtration!
7. Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System
The Alaskan Pipeline is one of the world's largest pipeline systems.
8. Buckner Building in Whittier
The Buckner Building was constructed by the military in 1953 but its doors were closed soon after in 1966 when the military port in Whittier was scuttled. The building was meant to serve as a support base for regional military operations in Alaska.
9. Dr. Seuss House in Wasilla
Just outside of town there is a well known home that is referred to as the Dr. Seuss house. This is private property so please do not trespass!
