Absolutely a must! I have been waiting since I moved here to check this place out! All the animals were out. Even the highly anticipated brown bear! The most breath taking views. Very nice that there is a drive option but it’s not too big to walk even with 5 kids! Weren’t bored for a single second! Definitely come!

My husband and I visited the conservatory as part of a tour during a visit to Alaska for our honeymoon, and I wish we had more time to spend there. It is such a lovely place. The animals have plenty of room to roam and seem content. We saw a bear trudge over to the pond and lay back, paws in the air, just chillin in the water. Besides the animals, this is a great place to take some landscape photos. It is surrounded by mountains. There are musk ox, bison, wolves, caribou, deer, eagles, bear, and moose. They also have a really nice gift shop. I didn't buy anything, but I wanted to!

Enjoyed our visit here today even with the rainy weather. Nice walk through the park to see the animals which were all easily viewable. Nice surprise to encounter a guide at the far end of the bison enclosure so we could ask questions. Fairly compact place so it didn’t take much effort to see it all, even walking.

We enjoyed our visit to the farm. You can walk around if you have the time and the weather is nice (probably my preference), but you can drive around to the different pens to view the animals. It was great to see some animals you may not get the chance to see in the wild. The porcupine was super cute. They have a gift store and you can buy coffee and hot chocolates and small food items. It was a lot of fun and great for kids. Highly recommend.

Not really a full day thing, we were here for about 2-3 hours. It was a very warm day. snacks are available and has a gift shop. It was lovely to see local animals, there are also a few keepers with displays and invite you to explore facts about the locals.

My time at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center was pure magic, man! It's all about love and positive vibes, connecting with nature and cool creatures. The center's dedication to conservation warmed my heart, creating a peaceful haven for these beautiful beings. From majestic bears to playful otters, soaring eagles to graceful moose, each creature radiated its own energy. It deepened my appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life. If you want to experience the wonders of nature and spread love, visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. It's a groovy journey of compassion and harmony with our furry and feathery friends. Peace and love, man!

Awesome trip. Highly recommend if traveling towards Whittier from Anchorage. Cool to see the big animals up close and personal, I’m glad they have the drive through option as we were traveling with a family member with mobility issues. Even she had the best time seeing all the animals!

The open atmosphere provides a pleasant walk amongst the fenced animals. You can also remain in your car and drive around if you desire. You are able to get very close when the animals allow it. The large animals appear to have large spaces to graze.
