Located right beside Kachemak Bay, the Alaska Islands and Ocean Visitor Center is one of the largest seabird refuges in the world. Visitors of all ages will love exploring the past and present of the refuge. In addition to seeing the many exhibits on the interpretive trail, you’ll be able to pick the brains of biologists and learn about what they come across when they sail to remote islands. Kids will love completing various activities in the visitor center to earn their Junior Biologist Badge. Don’t forget to stop the Alaska Geographic bookstore located within the center for an array of books, nature guides, and children’s items to take back with them.
