The Native American Heritage center off north Muldoon is fascinating. The best burger in town is at the Roadrunner, where you can eat outside and watch salmon in the little river that runs by, if they're running. For some really good eats, the Paris Cafe is famous beyond Alaska, with the best filet you ever tasted. You might be able to see Beluga whales in Cook inlet when the tide and the salmon are running. Marijuana is legal there, and the shops are interesting to see. If you indulge, be careful, the stuff they grow up there is super potent. Be prepared to spend some bucks wherever you go; everything is expensive. Watch out for moose and bears! Both are commonly seen in town. If you can wrangle a couple of extra days, I highly recommend going to Denali National Park if the weather is clear (picture), and the Kenai Peninsula for fishing and the sights. Along the way to Homer, detour to Hope, which is a tiny town on Resurrection Creek full of historical old homes, and go to Seward too. For a shorter trip in an afternoon, Girdwood on Turnagain Arm south of town has the world's lowest elevation ski lodge, and the gondola ride to the top gives you a view of six glaciers. I've made three trips to Anchorage, and I hope to go back. I spent the past June there. Don't forget your longjohns; September can get cold!
