Yellow6/10Anchorage's home-occupation rule allows an accessory building but is capped by area class; mandatory state business license.
In Alaska, the practical wall — where one exists — tends to show up at Phase 3 (legal wall); real constraint is a ~5-month outdoor season, not law. Building the structure and using it privately is easy almost everywhere; what varies by state and city is exactly when money changes hands starts to matter.

Mandatory state business license.
Treat the flagship 70-foot, steel-roofed cage as the aspirational build, not the typical one — most hosts list a simpler net-and-frame setup. Realistic booking volume in most places that allow paying customers at all clusters low: a few sessions a week, not a fully booked facility. Where a family pursues an actual special-exception or conditional-use permit, the approving board typically sets the visit cap itself as a condition of approval — a real process, not a formality, but also not a wall.
