Located in the Denali Visitor Center, the Karstens Theater is normally the venue for "Heartbeats of Denali," the twenty-minute long park film. Twice a day in mid-summer, however, we offer interpretive programs - often featuring beautiful images of the park - in the Karstens Theater.

To attend a program, simply arrive at the Denali Visitor Center (mile 1.5) a few minutes before the program is set to begin. Programs are offered at:

10:30 am daily (final offering Sept 22, 2009)
2:00 pm daily   (final offering Sept 22, 2009)

Topics vary from the very specific (e.g., bears or other wildlife) to the very general (e.g., sustainable living), but all tie in the greater themes to be found in the story of Denali National Park & Preserve.

Programs for 9.17 - 9.22

The programs run about 45 minutes, and both are followed by a showing of "Heartbeats of Denali."

Daily theater programs are made possible through the support of Princess Cruises and Holland America Line.
