This is an amazing way to be guaranteed to see many of Alaska's most sought after wildlife in a safe and animal friendly park! The bears are adorable, but trust me, seeing a bear in the wild can be a pretty intimidating. Much of Alaska's wildlife you will never see and even the moose, which are super common, visitors can go days or even weeks without seeing one and sometimes you'll see a few in any given day but visiting Alaska's Wildlife Conservation Center guarantees you'll see these animals and so many more! Licensed by Alaska's Transportation Department, this is for 3 - 10 people because of the way the Viator commissions and Park fees work, if you are just one or two people you can still book the tour but I need to charge for 3 - 10 people to make it feasible, if that makes sense.

From: $0.00

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for this tour at the Wildlife Conservation Center?

A: There are no strict age limits for the Wildlife Conservation Center tour! It’s great for families, but just keep in mind that younger kids might need some supervision around the bears. They really emphasize safety, so as long as everyone follows the guidelines, you should be good to go. Just be prepared for some walking, so strollers might be tough in some areas.

Q: What should we wear for this experience? Is it outdoors the whole time?

A: Yep, this is mostly an outdoor experience, so dress for the Alaskan weather! Layers are key, and definitely bring a waterproof jacket if rain is in the forecast. Good shoes are a must since there’s some walking on uneven terrain. You might also want to bring binoculars for a better view of the wildlife!

Q: How does parking work at the Wildlife Conservation Center?

A: Parking is pretty straightforward! There’s a large lot at the Conservation Center, and it’s free to park. Just keep in mind that it can get crowded during peak times, especially on weekends or holidays, so arriving early is a good call. If you’re in a larger group, you should have enough space for everyone.

Considering gifting the Wildlife Conservation Center tour - any tips?

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of getting this Wildlife Conservation Center experience for my sister and her kids when they visit Anchorage next month. They love animals, and this seems perfect! I’m a bit worried about the logistics, like parking and if the kids will really enjoy it. Anyone been? Any tips?

Just got back from the Wildlife Conservation Center! Thoughts?

Wow, we just did the Wildlife Conservation Center tour, and it exceeded my expectations! We saw bears, moose, and even some baby bison! The walking paths were a bit uneven but totally manageable. We went on a weekday, so parking was a breeze. Highly recommend it as a gift for any animal lovers!
