This place was super busy! We enjoyed the sections about walrus hunting and Amundson! We were there right at open. Maybe if you get there later, the crowd will have dwindled.Full review by boymomdfw

Your location seems to be near the museum . It must be 5-10 minutes walk . I can't guide you from here but either you go to the information center or switch on the wifi and google map will guide you perfectly, you can also take help from your hotel reception they too guide you . But roughly it's on the dock , last road to the dock I think . You can see boats anchored there . If you walk straight towards the bridge side it will fall on right hand . I hope this helps you . Enjoy your stay .
