Location: Anchorage, Alaska
Years Active: 1969 – Active
The Alaska Zoo isn’t your standard zoo experience. It’s rugged, focused on Alaskan wildlife, and sometimes, a little rough around the edges. Want to see a polar bear up close? Maybe even a brown bear searching for berries? This is the place.
Don’t just go for the big animals. The smaller critters – wolves, lynx, even the porcupine – offer some of the most fascinating encounters. Want something more? During the right season, you might catch glimpses of orphaned animals being rehabilitated. It’s a reminder that this zoo plays a real role in conservation.
The annual “Zoo Lights” event? Yeah, it’s very popular, but if you want a less crowded experience, come on a crisp fall afternoon or snowy winter day. The animals are often more active in cooler weather.
The Alaska Zoo is always growing and changing. Expansion is underway – so if you loved your last visit, know that the next one might be even better!
