- GloveEgypt128 contributionsWe had so much fun walking up and down and exploring all the shops. We even went in some places twice. Don’t forget your wallet! And stop for a cinnamon roll at the little coffee/ice cream truck in front of the event center. All the ppl working the shops were so nice and welcoming. We would love to stay on the spit during our next visit.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amanda GBrooklyn, NY87 contributionsChecked out the headquarters (full of local info and recs) and signed up for a Creatures of the Dock tour, which our whole family loved. Our guide Iris led our pack of nature-lovers on a surprising, dynamic, hands-on tour featuring anemones, jellies, medusas, crabs, and sea stars in some unexpected locations around the harbor. So much fun to rediscover a place we had been before with new (scientific) eyes. Our four-year-old had a blast, and the rest of the family did, too. Highly recommend.Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Elizabeth CMeriden, NH14 contributionsWe hiked to Glacier Lake a the base of the Growingk Glacier. It was an amazing day! If it is sunny out, plan a little extra time for lounging on the beach as we did. Soaking up the sun at the base of an Alaskan glacier - does it get any better than that? The park was well tended and all trails were well marked.Written July 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Homer is situated on the shores of Kachemak Bay on the Kenai Peninsula. Kachemak Bay is circled by mountains, glaciers, and active volcanoes. Homer suffered in the earthquake of 1964. The earthquake has been recorded as the 2nd most severe in the world.
The museum has collections relating to history of the area, the anthropological finds and records, archives of historic pictures, sounds and maps, and a collection of specimens from around the Kachemak Bay and how they influenced the peoples of the area.
Harrington Cabin just outside the main Pratt Museum building has been preserved as it would have been and offers glimpse into the lives of hard-working pioneers and homesteaders in the area. The cabin houses collection of hand tools, daily diaries, crochet work, and kitchen supplies. An oral history recording is available when not attended.
