Called Sasquatch, Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman, many cultures around the world share similar folklore of a mysterious beast. Gather with friends and neighbors for an outdoor movie experience starring our favorite mystery monster: Bigfoot. In collaboration with the Anchorage Museum, The AK Bookmobile and the Eagle River Nature Center this outdoor screening of Harry and the Hendersons (PG, 1hr50min) will feature ample area for up-front seating around heat sources and a select number of spaces for cars in a drive-in experience.

The Eagle River Nature Center
You’ll discover the beauty of the Eagle River Valley as you begin your drive along Eagle River Road. Residential areas will give way to breathtaking views of glacially-carved mountains. At Mile 12 you will reach the log cabin nature center – a threshold for connecting to the ever-changing landscape beyond. The Nature Center is operated by a small, grass roots non-profit organization. We hope you'll visit us and take some time to enjoy the trails and programs we offer.
