Considered one of the park's major attractions, the S.S. Nenana is a restored sternwheeler that from 1933 to 1952 traveled into the Interior from tidewater, making the journey up the Yukon, Tanana and Chena rivers. Another historic jewel at Alaskaland is a railroad car used by President Warren G. Harding during a visit to the territory in the early 1920s. The Harding Car, as it is known, has been restored to its former luster and provides visitors a rich glimpse of days gone by. Alaskaland has more to offer than historical structures, however. In addition, there are two 18-hole miniature golf courses next to the playground area.
Prices vary depending on course and age of participant.
