Hi Judy - Thanks for your interest in the Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure tour in Juneau. You are welcome to arrive on your own through the city bus and walk-in for a tour. There will be a 15 minute wait as we get your guide ready. You can book online at our website to help us plan for your arrival a little better. The tour will last about 1 hour and the average stay is between 1.5 and 2 hours to take in the grounds and enjoy the amenities. It is very easy walking with slight grades on packed gravel pathways. Not fast and not strenuous at all as our motorized shuttles do all the work of transporting you through the gardens and rainforest to our observation point about a mile through the forest and up to 600 feet above sea level for stunning views of Juneau's surrounding area. Please check our website if you have any other questions, or email us and I'll be happy to provide additional information! Best regards with your vacation planning! Sean @ Glacier Gardens

Hi mchaguturu - Thank you for your interest in the Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure tour in Juneau, Alaska. I am not aware of an “Upside Down Forest of Mendenhall Gardens” but I am very positive we are the only gardens in Alaska featuring the Flower Towers - upside-down trees planted with 100s of flowering varieties on display in the Tongass National Forest. We are certainly offered on-board Holland America Line cruise ships coming to Juneau. Find us under the name Grand Tour of Juneau featuring a combination tour with us, the DiPac Salmon Hatchery, and the Mendenhall Glacier. If you contact me at our email address: info @ glacier gardens . com I can email you a link to the listing. (TripAdvisor prohibits links and emails being included in answers to questions) Thanks again for your interest in the tour and for the great question on how to find booking options through Holland. Please get in touch so I can send that link for your ways to book us onboard the Zaandam. Best regards with your travel plans! ~Sean @ Glacier Gardens

Hi Indaus – Thanks for getting in touch with us about your upcoming trip to Juneau and including a visit the Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventures. You have a few options for visiting us while you’re in town. Since you are arriving via a cruise ship you should be able to purchase a shore excursion that includes Glacier Gardens.

They offer a tremendous value and one you should look into as you consider touring options. You are still able to take a tour outside of the cruise line offerings.

The bus ride will last about 30 minutes, each way. A taxi is available for hire for $20 each way, the ride last about 15 minutes, and they conveniently take you directly to our entrance and are called to pick you up at the conclusion of your tour.

Hi again - this looks like a double post. Please see my answer to your other question and let me know if you still need additional informaiton. Thanks! Sean @ Glacier Gardens

Hi sweetpeaw, Thank you for your questions regarding the Glacier Gardens Rainforest Adventure tour in Juneau. I am not sure why it costs roughly $20-$25 each way by taxi from the cruise docks, but that seems to be the going rate for transportation in Juneau. The $2 capital city bus picks up from multiple locations in the cruise docking pier and drops you off a 5 minute walk from our Visitor's Center. We are directly on the bus route and an easy walk on flat ground from the bus stop to our gardens, there is just a slight hill when entering our property. You can ask the bus driver to direct you to the correct stop for Glacier Gardens, we are between the Switzer Village and Fred Meyers stop. A taxi will take about 15 minutes and can be called to pick you up at the conclusion of your tour for your convenience. The bus ride is about 30-35 minutes depending on traffic and amount of stops and picks you back up going to town at the :15 and :45 minutes past the hour - so every half hour. I hope this answers your questions. You can find more information at our website under the Schedule/Transportation page. Please let me know if you have any other questions before you get to Juneau so I can help with your touring decisions. All the best, Sean @ Glacier Gardens info @ glacier gardens . com

Hi Karen, Thanks for getting in touch with us about the Glacier Gardens tour offered on the Celebrity Solstic. This "Chef Inspired" tour is designed as a brief walk through the botanical gardens where we can highlight our gardens and the spectacular designs we plant each year. Your chef will take back a seasonal ingredient to incorporate into your Alaskan dish later on. It is a short walk and we can tailor it to your groups abilities so no one is going beyond their comfort level. There is only about 600 - 800 ft of walking from when you depart the bus till you get back on board, and it is very moderate inclines with slight grades. It is not a very strenuous walk at all. Please let me know if you have any other questions prior to your arrival in Juneau. All the best with your upcoming vacation! Sean Smith Glacier Gardens info@ glaciergardens . com
