The Nome Visitor Center should be your first stop if visiting this remote town for the first time. Located on Front Street near the end of the world famous Iditarod Dog Sled Race, The Visitor Center is open 7 days a week, from about 8 am to 5 pm in the winter, and 8 am to 7 pm in the summer. There are staffed with friendly locals, stocked with informational brochures, and “Oscar,” stuffed musk ox. If you arrive in town after hours, feel free to call the number on the Visitors Center door, someone might be able to come and open it for you. The famous Burled Arch is also located near the Visitor Center during the race season. This iconic symbol of the Iditarod marks the finish line of the grueling race and is a must-see when visiting Nome.
