I was on a cruise and decided to explore on my own. I caught the silverline public bus across the street in front of the Alaska Coffee Company for $2.00 each way (exact cash). The park had a machine to pay $5.00 for the park entry. The paths to the totems were gorgeous. The totem poles, clan house, and general area were interesting. It is a small park. We were able to see the park and be back for the bus in one hour. I am glad I did not pay for a tour. I road the bus back to the cruise port but went past the port and got off at Creek Street and walked around. The short walk to port was then down hill and easy. It was a nice trip.

Only a $2 bus ride from Ketchikan. A small site ($5 entrance fee (6/24)) but in an idyllic cove type setting. About an hour is probably sufficient there, unless you take a picnic, which would be worth doing. Numerous totem poles and a clan house set along a compacted path way, suitable for disabled access, with interesting info boards.

Totem park is beautiful and worth visiting. But please do not take tours, as its far more expensive and you will have 50 people in front of you when trying to see the place. Go on your own, we took a public bus right in front of our cruise ship or go to downtown on a free bus and catch a public bus silverline, leaves every 20ish minute every hour. The bus is almost empty at all times and it drops you right in front of the park and picks up 7 mins after each hour exactly at the same location. for four of us the total cost was $30 including entrance tickets and ride back on the bus. When we got there, tours were almost completing and we had the whole place to ourselves. one hour was sufficient so we took the bus back that came an hour later. Definitely recommend this place for a visit

We enjoyed our time here. We were taken throughout the park and our tour guide told us all about the history of the village and the totems. If you're lucky whilst there, you might even see a whale. We did.

No need for tour excursion , you can do this on your own and cheaper. Just take the public bus ($2 fee) from the port and entrance fee is $5 per person. 1 hour is enough to stay at the park. Make sure do not miss the next bus pick up, as it only comes every hour. We only had 5 hours in Ketchikan and we did this early and then walked to Creek Street before embarkation( Carnival Luminosa)

I would not as highly recommend this park without a knowledgeable tour guide. I am giving this park a 5 due to the guide! The path in the park is easily accessible for anyone. The park is beautiful. The totem poles are very interesting but would not have been as compelling if we did not have such on amazing guide telling us the stories that went with these amazing reproduction Totem Poles! I loved this park! So much history! and beautiful Totem Poles! Huge gift shop too!
