Head to Kroschel Films Wildlife Center which offers a unique chance to experience Alaska’s wildlife up close and personal within a controlled environment. The reserve was founded by filmmaker and naturalist Steve Kroschel as a habitat for orphaned and abandoned wild animals rescued throughout the Alaska region. It is located approximately 28 miles from Haines’ city center and showcases more than 600 yards of visitor trails, featuring opportunities to see species such as grizzly bears, wolves, lynxes, reindeer, and porcupines in their natural habitats. Guided tours are offered seasonally between May and September, including private tours for small groups and organizations. A gift shop also showcases handmade goods by Alaskan artisans.
