Doody Destination

We absolutely loved visiting Dolly’s House Museum in Ketchikan, Alaska. Not only was it fascinating to learn about Dolly herself, but meeting the incredible women who now run the house was one of the highlights of our visit. Their passion, knowledge, and energy are absolutely amazing and really bring the history to life.

Walking through the house feels like stepping into a different era. It’s truly a pause in time, preserving a glimpse of when things were built, crafted, and cared for with remarkable attention to detail. Every room tells a story.

What surprised us most was learning about Dolly Arthur’s impact on Ketchikan. Despite being judged by many during her lifetime because of her profession, she played a significant role in preserving Creek Street. When the city considered demolishing much of the historic district, Dolly’s House remained, helping spark interest in preserving the area’s unique history and character. Today, Creek Street is one of Ketchikan’s most beloved attractions, and it’s amazing to think that one woman had such an important role in protecting a piece of the town’s heritage.

We were genuinely amazed by the lasting impact Dolly had on the preservation of Creek Street and the history of Ketchikan. It’s a powerful reminder that people are often far more than the labels society places on them.

We highly recommend visiting! The tour is fairly quick, but we absolutely loved every minute of it. Just keep in mind that the house discusses adult themes and the history of a former brothel, so this may be one to skip with younger kiddos.

The line was pretty long when we arrived to Alaska Fish House, and we ended up waiting in the rain for about 30 minutes. However, with cruise ships in port, that was to be expected, and the line moved surprisingly fast.

Once inside, you place your order at the counter and are seated afterward. One thing to note: if you’re a smaller party and the restaurant is busy, you may be seated with other guests. It felt a little unusual at first, but it wasn’t a big deal.

My husband ordered the Dungeness crab, and I went with the Alaska Sampler, which features three different types of fish served fish-and-chips style. The fries are their signature mesquite-seasoned fries, and honestly, they worked perfectly with the seafood.

As someone currently working on a YouTube video about our Alaska cruise experience, I can honestly say this was some of the best fish and chips I had during our trip. My husband also loved his crab and said the meat was incredibly fresh, tender, and flavorful.

They don’t sell alcohol at the ordering counter, but once you’re seated, there’s a small bar in the back where you can purchase drinks. We tried the Double Shovel Appalanche Cider and absolutely loved it.

Overall, aside from the communal seating, we really enjoyed our experience. I especially appreciated their unique take on fish and chips. Being originally from Cape Cod, I take my seafood pretty seriously, and this place definitely delivered!

Upon stepping off the cruise ship, we were in desperate need of some caffeine, and Glacial Coffeehouse was exactly what we were looking for. Conveniently located right in downtown, it was easy to find and the perfect stop before heading out on our tour.

Although it was quite busy, the line moved quickly and efficiently. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. Our coffee was hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The shop itself was very clean and inviting, and the fresh baked goods on display looked amazing.

If you’re visiting the area and need a quick breakfast, a great cup of coffee, or a stop before exploring town, we highly recommend checking this place out!

We absolutely loved Creek Street in Ketchikan, Alaska! It was an easy, convenient walk from the cruise ship port, and even though it rained all day, we still had a blast exploring the shops and taking in the beautiful creekside views.

The whole area has such a fun, vintage feel, with so many unique little stores and photo spots. We highly recommend checking out Dolly’s House, which also gives some great history about the area and how it helped preserve its character.

There is also a free town trolley that can take you around, with pickup near the museum. We found some of the most unique gifts and souvenirs here. Definitely worth visiting for an afternoon walk, shopping, and great photos!
