The food at both of the venues we ate at was fantastic. The valet service was great. However the over flow parking needs work. Both in maximizing those available near the hotel by painting lines for parking spots and for communicating where the overflow parking was located and how to get there

Discover the most popular places to visit in Gateway

This is one of my favorite places to take kids, family, and friends when they come for a visit. It is a truly "Alaska" experience to be able to wander among and feed the Reindeer here. And the scenery on the way can't be beat! Landscape wise, Pioneer Peak is the star of the show on this trip along the Old Glenn Highway & Bodenburg Loop Road.
