Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the Alaskan landscape, while getting up close to some of the region's most iconic wildlife. This adventure is perfect for nature enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking to create lasting memories in the heart of Alaska.
The experience kicks off with a scenic drive along the Seward Highway, one of the most picturesque routes in the state. As travelers journey through Turnagain Arm, stunning views of mountains and the shimmering Cook Inlet set the stage for what lies ahead. Upon arriving at the Wildlife Conservation Center, guests will explore over 200 acres of animal enclosures on a leisurely 1.5-mile loop, perfect for walking, biking, or driving. Encounter breathtaking bears, majestic moose, and playful foxes in their natural settings, all while learning about their habitats and conservation efforts. After an exhilarating time with the wildlife, a visit to Portage Glacier offers the opportunity to witness this stunning natural wonder up close, surrounded by towering peaks and glistening blue waters.
This Wildlife Conservation Center and Portage Glacier Viewing experience is the ideal gift for adventurers and wildlife lovers alike. Not only does it provide a unique opportunity to engage with Alaska’s natural beauty, but it also creates memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Check Availability & Book
Experience Overview:
Wildlife Conservation Center And Portage Glacier ViewingThis 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, I am setting this up as 4-5 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 4 or 5 people to make it feasible, if that makes sense.
