Jewell Gardens

Located in Skagway, the Jewell Gardens enjoy a perpetual summer even when everything around them is cold and remote. Their beauty is all the more impressive since they’re bright, cheerful and brimming with life despite the harshness of their surrounding landscape. Their secret lies in both their location and their architecture. Nestled in the foothills of the mountains, they also make use of many glass features to trap heat and moisture. Visitors can tour the gardens, sign up for glassblowing demonstrations and more. Tea ceremonies are arranged daily, and luncheons are guaranteed to have fresh ingredients straight from the source. If you’re wondering where to visit in Alaska that isn’t perpetually covered in snow, consider a trip to the Jewell Gardens. They definitely live up to their name as a shining gem in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Address: Mile 1.5, Klondike Hwy, Skagway, AK 99840, United States
