Alaska Coral & Fish

👍👍 I Love Alaska Coral, Tim the Owner is My DuDe.

👍👍 My wife and I booked the Highlights of Alaska tour through Alaska Tour and Travel.

Happy Hoppers Bounce House

Indoor playground

🫤 TLDR: Great place for my kid's happiness, but it's not super sanitary and their communication isn't good if you wish to work here. It's they say vs you say and they side with family even if they're wrong. My child loves it here. Asked about a job though and wasn't informed it was a working interview...

But.... there were several cars parked at the entrance (which is in the middle of a street between neighborhoods.... really gorgeo...
