Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
The center is a 144-acre, 2-mile drive- or walk-through loop accessing large enclosures where you can see up close the many animals the park has adopted and rescued. The center raises wood bison, which had been extinct in Alaska since the 1800s and were endangered in Canada. In 2015, the it reintroduced 100 wood bison to the wild, 340 miles west of Anchorage; a small herd remains at the center. Visitors can also see moose, elk, eagles, owls, musk ox, porcupines, and the elusive lynx. An elevated walkway at the center also allows visitors the thrilling experience of seeing bears at eye level.
