Creator's Key Takeaways

Rudolph is very, very tasty. Highly recommended.

It's a really, really cool place. You go up to this second floor which has observation windows to look out into the bear enclosures.

Overall, Sitka was a nice place to visit. I'm glad we went as a as a port stop.

Still a nice place to visit if you haven't been.
