Another gift shop you say? Well, yes and no. It is a gift shop, and has some sculptures made of burled and knotty wood, hence the name. However the real attraction here is the "wildlife museum" in the back room. It is one of the most over-the-rop displays of taxidermy you will ever see. Whoever made it has basically shot at least one of every animal in Alaska and had it mounted, and they are all on display on an indoor "mountainside." If you like finding weird tourist stuff, this is a must-stop.
In summer it is a nice place to stop for ice cream as well.
The most obvious sight in the city is the "Santa Claus House," a Christmas-themed gift shop with live reindeer next door and appearances by Santa himself. You can also arrange for anyone you wish to receive a letter from Santa just before Christmas! There is a sweet shop inside and the "World's Largest Santa" statue outside.
