Review:

The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a lovely facility that takes care of orphaned and/or injured animals of all sorts in a 200-acre habitat that is spacious and mimics the natural wilderness. It’s a great place for visitors of all ages to learn about how they preserve Alaska’s wildlife, while getting to see many of the furry residents “in the wild.” It is not uncommon to see wood bison roaming on pastures and brown bears playing in the water during your visit. You can tour the vast acreage via car or on foot; there is a scenic 1.5-mile loop that encircles a variety of animal enclosures. At the end of it all, be sure to get some great souvenirs to take back with you from their gift shop.
