A DAY IN SEWARD
Options abound in the winter for a day trip to Seward. Book a behind the scenes tour at the Alaska SeaLife Center, enjoy our trails without the crowds, or take a half-day boat tour of Resurrection Bay. After you’ve built up an appetite, take advantage of a little-known secret: Several chefs showcase their talents with winter specials and creative menus not available in the summer. After lunch, go for a skate on Second Lake, a walk along the waterfront path or head to the sledding hill behind the elementary school. Join a local artist’s “paint and sip” and create your own masterpiece, or wrap up the day with a hot drink and watch the last rays of light disappear over the mountains.

A WEEKEND IN SEWARD
A full weekend in Seward will allow you to explore like a local. Book a cozy cabin or a room with a view (often deeply discounted). Options abound for winter recreation: lay first tracks on a heli-ski trip, or crosscountry ski to Exit Glacier or around the trail network near Mile 12. Or bask in the solitude with a leisurely walk along the waterfront and an indulgent spa treatment. Join us for winter-only activities like community movies with $2 admission, set-menu extravaganzas by awardwinning chefs, open mic nights, and organized “Winter Weekends.” Plan ahead to celebrate our signature events (p.44) with us, from the Seward Music and Arts Festival in the fall to the Polar Bear Jump Festival in January.

Rainy day specials
Seward is located in a coastal temperate rainforest, which means we get rainy days that keep everything lush and green. Don’t worry, our tours run rain or shine! In case you’re looking for indoor activities, we have plenty to keep you and the family exploring.
