1 When to Go I am a firm believer in four-season travel with kids, especially in Alaska, where each month has its own personality and unique activities. That said, certain times of the year are definitely more challenging to manage with children than others. Here is an overview of Alaska’s sea- sons, and the pros and cons of visiting during each. Summer Without a doubt, summer reigns in Alaska for access to attractions and ease of travel. The infamous “midnight sun” and plethora of activities mean tons of fun for the entire family, but at a price. Pros • Seasonal activities like flightseeing, fishing, and glacier/wildlife cruising are in full swing. • Airlines beef up route schedules, offering frequent flights to/from Alaska on a daily basis. • Weather is usually warmer, ranging from 80ºF in Fairbanks to 58ºF in southeast Alaska. • Animals are more active during the summer months. • Best availability for airfares, hotels, and attractions can be found mid-May through late August. Summer is also an excellent time to consider a road trip to, from, or around Alaska. 1
