Reviews of Alaska Zoo (Zoo)

Breanna Cobiskey

This place was beautiful! My husband and I had a very pleasant visit. Most of the animals were rescued which was great to see. Bring the kids and family to enjoy a great experience and education!

Veronica McIntyre

Very cool zoo! Felt like you were hiking through a forest. Paths were well maintained. Great exhibits with active animals. Very informative displays. Well worth the price.

Samantha Seyfert

Nicely coordinated and staff were very knowledgeable. Take a behind the scenes tour to learn even more and get the best out of your experience. Each animal has their own personality, so plan to spend anywhere from a half to full day here.

Michelle Webber

this is tough for me. i think i'm growing less fond of zoos these days. i found myself fairly depressed while walking the grounds as i noticed the very small, dirty enclosures, with most of the animals huddled in the corners of their enclosures or anxiously pacing the perimeters. they didn't necessarily look neglected or in major distress, but i definitely felt like my presence there wasn't exactly doing any good for these poor creatures. while i fully understand that most of these animals were born into captivity or were in some way injured and cannot survive in the wild, it's difficult to be able to justify putting them on display. still, it was pretty wonderful to get to see a snow leopard, polar bear and amur tiger up close. go early (9-10am) or in the evening, or you risk visiting when they're all sleeping.

Teresa Richards

It has been a long time since I've been there. Loved seeing all the animals. It sure changed. Love, love.

Cas Ben

Well taken care of animals with lots to see. Loved it that it has a write up on each animal they have.

James Riley

Staff gives great care. Not the biggest but has the Alaskan animals and others. Enjoy!

Thelma Guice

I would love to see the poparbear feeding. Seen the back of them going back in. It was a real nice zoo.

Victoria Avery

We did the zoo keeper for a day and it was amazing. We got to make diets for some of the animals and feed a handful! Of course, we had to um clean up after them too. But these up close encounters I will remember for the rest of my life!

Peter Nussbaum

For the price this is one of the coolest zoos I have ever been at.

Kaleigh Gaffney

Best zoo I’ve ever been to! Much more nature-y and not your typical concrete sidewalks and manicured lawns kind of zoo. Many unique animals.

Malachy Moran

A really fun way to spend a few hours. Small, but they have a great selection of animals, most of them native to Alaska. Favorites are the seals, bears and owls. Not too expensive, and definitely worth the 15 bucks.

Shauna Bailey

Love the zoo! Discovery tour is the way to go. A little more expensive but you get the guided tour behind the scenes and it's so cool!

Doug Chuka

I really wanted to like this zoo. The problem is the animals all look so sad being caged that it's hard to have a good time. The brown bears just sat there moping.

Enzo Woo

Small zoo that I still spent 3 hours looking at. Wonderful value for the $15 admission if you’re looking for things to do in Anchorage.

Gunner Mattern

To start this review positively the animals look healthy, and the Polar Bear Exhibit is being updated. This being Alaska's only zoo, I figure it would have more government assistance and funding. • Online lists only 18 species of animals at the zoo. (Which almost caused me not to go.) • The exhibits weren't marked correctly • Most Exhibits were cluttered or dirty • The whole time I was visiting, I only saw 2 people working outside. • Most of the Zoo feels like you're looking at someone's private collection in their backyard. (If that's the case.. then at least make it feel like a zoo if that's what you're marketing it as.) • The Path's around the exhibits dead end in weird places and it's not stated as so. The paths are just common gravel, so it wouldn't be expensive to continue a path to a possible beneficial route to the exit. I give it 3 stars because overall the animals didn't seem in distress and they looked healthy. It needs serious work though.

Anthony Mosley

One of the best location in the town to go with family and enjoy your time. I really like this place. Will surely revisit here.!!

Kerry Hall

Its ways fun for the family to go to the zoo. My mom took me and my sister almost every week when we were kids.

Yuan Zhan

Not well managed. Animals are not in good conditions. So sad to see them to be unhappy. Only highlight is a free squirrel busy gathering pine cone for the winter, which is the only lovely thing in the whole zoo.

Angel A

Great time with family and kids. Thank you!

William Troxel

The staff was so eager to answer my kids questions and make sure they enjoyed the animals and learned something

Amber Ausdahl

Wonderful, educational zoo with a beautiful wooded trail and lots of animals! Such great memories here!

Raja Yogam

Great place to visit in Anchorage for variety of animals from Alaska and other parts of the world. Tiger display was good.

david webb

Nice staff, very willing to share their knowledge. A great place to visit no matter what your age.

Felicia Judge

Fun and the right price. The polar bear decided to not grace us with his presence but all the other animals were out and about. Cutest baby seal ever!

Robert Bradford

Kind of small, but the kids had fun

Tate Wiley

Decent zoo, small selection. I was disappointed with the petting zoo specifically, perhaps a different worker should be running the petting zoo, one that is kid friendly. The lady was very rude about every little thing the kids did, they didn't get to pet a single animal because of it.

Canton Gardenhire

Great zoo alot of animals. Alot of animals were sleep when we went through. Zookeeper taught us about the porcupine.

Lorna Riley

Great zoo. Small but easy to see all the animals. Enjoyed our time.

aaron donham

Nice zoo , very clean, animals seemed well cared for. The animals seemed very old...especially the wolves

David Loeb 3

Loved it. I would like to go back in 2 years

Chelsea Graf

Not your average zoo and that's what keeps the animals happy! A delightful stroll along the gravel trails, under a rustling canopy of leaves! No elephants or other large, southern hemisphere animals. Here you'll experience wolves, owls, eagles, and a few surprisingly content camels; who knew they'd like the Alaska climate! Always educational joy as staff takes time to teach us about their animals and various programs. Our favorite visit is always to the orphan bear cubs as they are rescued ans cared for until re-release!

Chris Bering

Our 6 year old had a great time. We liked the wilderness feel of the zoo. The coffee shop was a great resting point and the gift shop had a nice variety of items to choose from. Overall, we spent about 3 hours there and saw everything in the zoo.

Ashmeet Singh Rekhi

Have seen better zoos. It wasn't bad.

Brooklyn Farris

It had a food and a gift shop and so many animals there was a squral or chickmunk in a tree outside for some reason really werid but fun thank you

Linda Friend

The nachos were gross. But seeing the brown bear up close was so cool. And the wolves..

Randy Rienth

Great place to spend a day. Fun day for all. Go to the 12:30 discovery tour, well worth the extra money.

kawaiisteph247

Iij t was awesome seeing all the animals

Prashanth Naik

Worth a visit, loved Falcon, Tiger , Eagle and many other animals in the zoo. Don’t miss tiger talk happens usually around 1PM (this happened when we visited in May) Avg time to complete the zoo is around 3 hours. Best time to go: 11 AM Check out more pictures on my Instagram profile #iamphotophile17

Paul Wallingford

The animals looked cared for, that's the only plus.The handicap acess is deplorable, dont even consider it as an option unless you have a 4x4 wheelchair, 98% of the zoo walkways are pea gravel. Even parents with strollers struggle going up hill. Really safe because it's one of the most beautiful settings for a zoo of its size.

Carol Harris

Always love visiting the zoo and really enjoy all their special events! Yesterday at a birthday party behind the scenes event, I dropped my cellphone. The staff tried to find it for me, but no luck. This morning my husband and I went back with a metal detector and Pat Lampi, the executive director, was gracious enough to brave the cold and take us behind the scenes again to find it. Amazingly, we found it buried under 2 inches of snow! Thanks Pat and the zoo staff!

roger gose

Exhibits are poorly signed and don't appear to be upto date. Power washing during open hours

Teddy Ninja

So scenic in the snow. Me and my girlfriend had the zoo practically to ourselves and it was great. The Christmas lights put up everywhere didn't hurt either. Check on the polar bear a few times because he tried hiding from us but the otters and seals are always playing around and have great exhibits. Bonus points if you can find a zoo keeper to help you get the coyotes to howl.

Winkler Matt

Really nice zoo showcasing mostly Alaskan Native animals. Walking is mostly dirt trails with mildly changing elevations

Rhonda Ouellette

In the heat of the day no animals were out to see them. Smart enough to stay in their shaded areas.

Robyn Payne

Love the animals! All of the animals are rescues and the staff is super friendly!

David Christopher

It was nice! The trails were a little difficult since I am in a wheelchair but totally understandable for the environment.

Becky Noyes

Very nice zoo with lots of really nice exhibits and plenty of animals to enjoy! Actually now one of my favorite zoos! We actually visited later in the day, so it wasn't very busy and it was a cooler day so many of the animals were out front and center. I hope to return someday when I make it back to Alaska someday.

Rachel Flagstead

Really beautiful zoo that is well spaced out. You get to walk through gorgeous landscape to each enclosure. Each animal was some sort of rescue and had something permitting it from being released back into the wild, but still it makes you somewhat sad to see them enclosed in cages. Beautiful facility though!

Crystal Northen

Enjoyed our trip to the zoo this week. It was our first time and even though it is not real big it is a great zoo! Loved seeing the polar bears, snow leopard and musk ox. Not something we can see in Texas. Nice layout with plenty of shade. Nice gift shop and coffee house.

Simon Carpenter

This is a very nice small zoo. I like that many of the paths are not paved (like say, the San Diego or St. Louis zoos). The paths are natural material and it makes it feel like you're walking through a forest full of beautiful and interesting animals. The zoo has a very nice gift shop too.

Ben Kolendo

Nice zoo but a lot of the exhibits were empty

Klowd

Great zoo, quiet and the kid loves it.

Donna Frankson-Harris

I plan to bring my daughter here. I think she will love the animals!

KK6WGO Rollins

They know what will survive here. Friendly staff, good food on snack bar, priced fair; food and admission. Had raindeer dog, good and spicy.

Alex Torres

Pretty disappointing zoo. Not clean. Limited educational panels. I can only guess that they suffer from lack of proper funding.

Daniel Moseley

Alaska Zoo is a great place to take the family for an afternoon outing. It usually takes our family about two hours to see all of the animals. We bought an annual membership since we're a pretty large crew. (Admittedly, we were spoiled years ago by the Saint Louis Zoo; I still can't believe that place has free admission.)

Brad Bliton

Great place to take the kids and spend a day. There is always something unique and the animals are amazing. The snow leopards are beautiful and are a true rarity to see.

drago main

Love to spend my time here and see all the animals and scenery. They also have a lot of pokemon go stops which is super cool.

Gayathri Sankaran

Best place to see all the animals of the tundra in one place.

Gerry Dillon

Great day to spend time relaxing! Watched a black bear soaking up the sun

Ervin Pangilinan

just hoping they are already on their way making improvements on the brown bear cage because blah blah blah... just see it for yourself... but, everything else was just fine, although the animals look sad...

Gary Poppe

I thought the zoo was okay. My biggest complaint was some of the pens were quite small and there was no sun relief. It was warm the day we were there and some of the animals, with heavy coats of fur, had no protection from the sun's heat. Shade and/or water relief seemed appropriate. On a positive note, they did have a large variety of animal species and it was an overall positive experience.

Abby Miller

Im in a group visiting from florida and we wanted a nice experience to see the animals that was kid friendly. The prices are not bad, especially for a big zoo. We made our trek to see every animal. Only the red fox stayed hidden from us. Each animal had a placard with its story written on it, how they hot there, if they were hurt, etc. There were also informational signs for each species that were really cool to read. In one section of the zoo were some baby animals that had been abandoned as well as other rehabilitated animals to see, you had to be quiet so you wouldnt spook them but it was very cool to watch. We brought our own lunches and there was a nice shady area with picnic benches close to a playground. A super great experience for our entire group. I loved seeing the wolves, snow leopard, and seals (there was a baby seal too!) the most :)

tlchenvt

Polar bear was not there. Watched bald eagle, snow panther very closely. The brown bears don’t live in very good condition. They looked bored.

Benjamin Scott

Honestly when I first went I thought it was going to be kind of lame but this zoo actually has a really nice layout. I do wish they had a little more animals to show but for the size of the city it makes sense. Will definitely go again

donna Thoma

Love the Musk ox. He showed his attitude... Lol!

Dilafruz دل افروز

Had my daughter's birthday at the zoo. The kids and adults really enjoyed the experience. The special close up encounter with Nik (grey wolf) was pretty awesome

MaryEllen Sinclair

Nice calm zoo with lovely trails winding through the woods from one enclosure to the next.

Lauren Newton

Love the zoo! I am local but enjoy taking the kids frequently as we see different things each time.

cat fud

Love all zoos this one has Christmas entertainment

Jay Ho-Gland

Very nice but very short walked the whole zoo in an hour

Melanie Simmons

Had a great time. Highly recommend the Discovery Tours. Well worth the $28 (includes admission).

Bruce Marshall

This is worth the visit while visiting Anchorage. It's a wonderful place with friendly staff that really do care about the animal guest they are hosting.

Michael Padgett

Very nice zoo. Exhibits are laid out with trees between them, giving it a very wooded atmosphere. A great selection of animals on exhibit.

Greg Olah

Love how this zoo is primarily indigenous animals. The animals that are not indigenous, are all from the same temperate zone, so it is very considerate and thought out.

m mcal

Small but that's ok. The zoo does not receive any public funding. Most of the animals there are rescues but a few have been snatched. Overall it was a good visit.

Jeanne McCartney

So great, I heard it used to be bigger. Sorry I missed that, but amazing now

jana h. ginter

Nice small zoo. Very kid oriented. Can walk the whole zoo and not be exhausted. Saw many people struggling with strollers on the gravel trails.

B D

Love the zoo! They have some great animals and take good care of them. Some cages are empty, which is a good thing for the animals :)

kristina elshoff

What a fun small zoo! We visited on the 50th anniversary when it was half price, and the staff were doing lots of scheduled visits in the pens with the animals. The staff was great at answering all of our questions while working with the animals. Some animals were not present that were shown on the map - I found out some had passed on. Most of the animals are rescued. They had an infirmary and orphaned area section which I thought was nice to have. However, the petting zoo was only a goat and 3 chickens.

Jen Chamberlain

An embarrassment of a zoo....multiple exhibits off display and only animals visible are musk ox, bald eagle, and otter. Noisy, small, poorly maintained.....don't waste your time.

TheGhostinthenight ,

The zoo itself is nice and has low admission costs. Unfortunately many of the animal exhibits were concerningly small, especially ones like the brown bear and harbor seals. I am not sure how well the zoo can provide for the needs of their animals in such constrained habitats.

Shari Gilbert Mitchell

Neat, clean, easy access and animals are well cared for!!

Jennifer Fisher

We really enjoyed the view while visiting town.

Raven Catlin

Good zoo. Since animals of exhibit and it want labeled. I hear it it's better in the mornings and at feeding time

Luba B

Loved it here. They're open all year. The coffee/sandwich shop is lovely. I got to see the musk ox in person on a day when the farms would not have been open so I was very happy with my visit. The other animals are mostly rescues or trades with other zoos. The story of how this place started with just one elephant is very touching and unique. The zoo is a non profit and does not get any government funding. The gift shop is nice to visit as well. You can get treats and activities to help support the animals.

George Wallace

Bigger than it looks. It was great to see the different animals

John Gibbs

I don't get to see moose, wolves, reindeer, and muskox back in the lower 48. So, for me, it was a great experience. It was cold and raining when we went, so there was no one else there but us. The grizzly bears are huge.

Mike wheeler

Best zoo in Alaska. Maybe the only one but still a lot of fun.

Ty Kon

Still an amazing place to visit. I haven't been in 10 years but took my neice today and had as much fun as ever. The wolf enclosure is amazing. My niece wanted to "start a howl" while all the wolves were asleep. Not only did she wake them up, but they all came to see her. Always worth a trip and if you've never been, you simply must.

Scott Carpenter

Small and just right for a few hours of walking around...most animals were out wondering around....

Melanie the Sylvia

We loved all the animals !! Especially the baby bears and baby moose that came to the zoo as rescues !!

Holly Coker

Didn't get to see very many animals. Might have been a timing thing. Such a lovely place and walk through that I didn't mind much.

Shirley McCutchen

This is an awesome place to visit. I loved seeing all of the animals in their natural habitats

Emily Clarrey

Nice little zoo! Staff was very friendly! Very cool to see animals you cant see at other zoo's like polar bears, eagles, Grizzlies, ox, doll sheep!

Ryan

The Alaska Zoo is a nice size for such a small City and state. It is well worth the price to stop in and support their efforts. Strollers with small wheels are difficult to manage on the gravel paths. Wagons work find and large tire strollers. I suggest winter, spring, as best for the animals, in the summer they nap a lot. Don't forget to check their website for the live polar bear webcam.

Ana Bering

Family friendly zoo. The natural enclosures create very relaxed vibe. Coffee shop yielded tasty treats and warm beverages . Yum!

Java Bean

It's a nice little zoo in the woods

Jerod Beeson

Many of the enclosures had no animals in them. The place seems like it needs more funding.

mikaila Smiles

Always good for a cute date

Beth Blakely

A mixed experience. The young lady in the ticket booth seemed to want to be anywhere else other than there. Our first animal exhibit was the seals which couldn't really be seen under water because of the massive build-up of algae on the windows. I was quite concerned at that point that this zoo was going to be disappointing, but it did get better. The size of the enclosures meant you really got to see most of the animals, though in some cases they felt a little too small. We did enjoy the brown bears and the eagles, and enjoyed all the information cards that told each animal's story. The signage could be much better on the paths... we found ourselves doubling back a lot to see things we missed. Watching the staff walk the wolves wa certainly a highlight. All-in-all it was a nice zoo, but needs a little TLC here and there

Jeff Brasel

A great place to visit and its right in Anchorage! Thr coffee shop makes great lattes, the zoo is well kept and has a great variety of exhibits. Dont miss the river otters!

Amanda Graves

It was Great. Staff answered a bunch of questions. Watched the bears be fed. So fun.

D L

Great place for kids .. u can walk through everything in 1hour and 30 minutes

Linda Hopp

It is an amazing zoo that is like walking through the woods and enjoying the animals as we approach their home.

Danny Fyffe

We saw almost all the animals they have. It is very walkable and the babies made it there coolest zoo visit ever.

Karen Holland

Small zoo, but very nice. Takes about 3 hours if you take your time.

Rochelle Broder-Singer

Small, yet filled with local species in great environments.

Paula Popenoe

Always fun to see local and exotic animals up close

Tayma McClain

Delicious homemade burgers with special sauce and homemade french fries. Love this old time restaurant!

Nichole A

Great zoo. The paddocks are cool and you get closer to the animals than any zoo I've ever been too. Good collection of animals. The wolves are the best! And Cranberry of course.

Shawn Tu

Fun trip for the family. Plan for about two hours with kids, two adults could probably do the whole zoo in about an hour and fifteen.

Jennifer Carpenter

Enjoyed watching the new baby seal was so enjoyable! Thank you for being a responsible zoo that takes in local orphaned animals.

Sarah Albright

Small easy to navigate. Enjoyed seeing all of the animals. Only need a couple of hours to see everything.

Sarah Crabbe'

I loved seeing the variety of animals but they were all very hot and hardly any shade for them was available. Tight confinement not enough mobility.

Andy Munzanreder

Nice zoo exhibits were well kept and natural surroundings

Melissa Moody

One of my favorite place in town to take visitors, because the animals are great, the mission of the zoo is an important one, and the walking paths around the zoo are enjoyable all on their own!

Shannon Green

I loved this zoo! The paths weave you through the enclosures but I got a little turned around when I want paying attention to where I was going. Signs pointed me on the right direction,. I ran into the zoo keeper along the way who shares stories of the animals. Stories of how the zoo got each resident was posted near the pens.

Franny Yeates

Not physically the largest zoo we have seen, but very likely the most amazing collection of animals. All of Alaska’s and Canada’s bears, wolves, and moose, plus tigers and various yaks from Central Asia, and Snow Leopards!! One of the rarest animals on earth, and they have two! They are unbelievably gorgeous. A devoted, dedicated and very friendly staff. Absolutely delightful place to visit.

Connor Priest

Such a fun place with many of the most awesome animals from all around Alaska in one spot!

Suman Pandey

I saw lot of animal neglect and poor living condition. Especially bears and birds. They don't deserve caging. It was sad to see bald eagle cooped up in such small area. And three grizzlies in a small confined area. Coyote has no business in zoo. It is not even endangered. Overall area given to animals is very small. And that is abuse. I didn't expect this from a 50 years old zoo.

Casey Renteria

This place is a maze in a good way. My daughter loved getting lost on the paths to different animals. We spent 2 hours here and didnt see everything. Great place to take toddlers to kill an afternoon.

Steven Kosmicki

Really nice facility and the animals were active with the cooler weather!

colter pierce

Supper nice place other than the animals were all depressed and sleeping

agustin romero

Let me start off by saying the zoo it self was a great experience for me, my family and family friends. BUT, what ruined my ENTIRE day after exiting the zoo was the gift shops employee Sam, not sure if that even her name but, thats what she told me. Now i never write any reviews and have little complaints about certain establishments, but, this seriously has to get put out there before this happens to any other family. Where do i begin.. from the moment i walked into the gift shop and greeted Sam, i got nothing but dirty looks and not one word back. I thought nothing of it, maybe she did not hear me, but the entire time she continuously kept giving me, my family and family friends dirty looks as we walked to look at the merchandise and I noticed it quickly and can Just feel her staring at us. My friends wife walks up and buys a stuffed animal for her son, and what shocked me was she THROWS the receipt at her !! My friend did not want to say anything so they walked out and so did my family. I walked up to the counter to look at the different flavors of jerky they had, and i hear her tapping her fingers on the counter so I look up and see her just staring me down! So i give her the jerky and continue to pay, I ask how her day is going, looks at me with a face of disgust and says “GOOD” the payment goes through and the most UNPROFESSIONAL and DISGUSTING behavior i had EVER witnessed from an employee at a family establishment, she TOSSES, yes TOSSES my card on the counter. Writing this and thinking about it just boils my blood, I couldn't believe what she has just done . After looking at her in disbelief she just stares back and expects me to just walk away. The most atrocious individual i have encountered with!! I am not sure if this was discrimination and i really hope not i seriously HOPE this was not discrimination we are a hispanic family, or even if she was having a bad day this is no excuse what so ever for an employee to act like this at a FAMILY establishment. After asking for her name several times and her ignoring me i had to ask the employee at the admissions section. In all honesty i hope this employee gets TERMINATED from this place, she ruined my entire day and my friends as well, we had a great time and the kids loved the animals but when something like this happens which is totally uncalled for there has to be consequences for ones actions. I called the manager and i will be following up with the manager to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else or their families after having a good day at the zoo. I am just in disbelief and really cant wrap my head around what i experienced today at the Alaska zoo gift shop.

Russell Durkee

Not a huge Zoo. Nothing new is Zoo. For what they have is really clean. Animal seem well cared for. Definitely not over the top. Give yourself about an hour maybe an hour and a half.

Loretta Fogg

Llamas, musk ox, camels, wolves, snow leopards, tigers, bears, owls, porcupines and hawks are a few of the amazing animals residing at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage. All northern clime animals, so don't expect to see a penguin nor a monkey. Takes about an hour-and-a-half to see everything, although many people sray longer. There's a playground for younger kids, a petting zoo area (limited opening) picnic area and coffee shop with hot drinks and homemade snacks in addition to packaged food to warm up on chilly days. Our last trip was on a mildly rainy day, and the animals were more active and interested in their fresh birch tree treats than when it's hot and sunny out.

Bailey Kirkland

Love that the zoo is exactly like I remember as a kid .. in the middle of the forest surrounded by animals. Love me some ools

Russell Palmiter

Zoo was nice. But better views of the animals were had at the Alaska Wildlife Preserve.

Christine Alexander

Loved the zoo today! One of the tigers was a walking right along the bottom fence line, my grandbabies enjoyed seeing it close up!

rachel stein

Very Awesome! I was so happy to see the polar bears together finally! Watching the Grizzlies was amazing. Very clean, very kid friendly, and they take AMAZING care of their animals.

DarthEnragidous

Enjoyed my time there, all the animals look well cared for and I especially loved the Off Exhibit.

loretta mcgee

Love the animals! They are so always happy to great people. The workers are so helpful and help with people with disabilities.

Michele Glasgow

Difficult to find animals using the map and signage. Lots of walking. Animals looked well cared for. We did have fun

Elizabeth

Nice place. well kept and good for kids to come and learn about animals. Wish the coffee shop hours matched zoo hours

Eskimo Blood

Get to see many iconic Alaskan wildlife

Layne Edelman

Loved this zoo! We got to see feeding time with the brown bears which was amazing! Animals seem very well taken care of and their enclosures are extremely nice!

Dave and Debbie Ingram

We have been to a number of zoo and it is aways fun to see "local" animals. The bison and black bear gave a nice show

cin cin

So much to look at. Beautiful paths to see animals. It feels like you are in the forest . A must see when in the area.

Bryan Rehwinkel

So I’ll be the first to admit I am not a big zoo person but i really enjoyed the Alaska Zoo. All of the animals looked happy and well taken care of.

B L

Lots of great sights, cool animals, they look healthy, the zoo was clean. Staff were all busy educating individuals. There were about three school groups doing all sorts of neat stuff. I'd totally reccomend it.

Suzanne Scherer

Loved our experience here. Got to witness feeding time and make the coyotes and wolves howl which was great. Also, Mr pickles the porcupine never disappoints with all his personality. Staff were very friendly and animals were out to play

Ricky Bakker

I had a blast at the Zoo! Great experience

Robert Walker

It's a nice place with the animals in their natural habitat. It is worth the price of admission.

krystal thompson

Had a great time with my family. Took just a little over an hour to walk around the park but it was priced appropriately.

Mark Jensen

All zoos get 5 stars from me. Instead of a walk in the park, take a stroll in the zoo! Grab a coffee midway and get some gifts too!

Ricky Luke

A nice zoo with a fair amount of exhibits.

Angel Garcia

Such a small and cute place. Im very pleased seeing deers! It was very fun ^-^)♡

Pangna Brandne Vang

Always amazing with the animals. The bears are the best to watch!

Christopher States

Great place to check out. Staff was friendly and zoo was clean. The lady at the gift shop at the end was very helpful too.

GenHazard

Great zoo to explore. Wonderful exhibit's, though could use some better amenities as far as food goes. Just a small coffee shop with minimal snacks.

Nicole Fuster

I loved this zoo I wish their were more animals though and was handicap friendly it's not paved and because of that wheelchairs and dirt don't really work out that great but it was very beautiful and I did enjoy the animal's I did see though

Yasin Ozdemir

Great zoo which include some really unique animals that are exclusive to that part of the world. However it needs to be maintained alot better which could be due to the lack of funding from the government since I only saw 2 or 3 workers during our trip. The animals do look well and cared for though. A telephone booth close by wouldn't also be a bad idea since we came from Australia and were almost left stranded since no telephone reception is available and the zoo had closed without our knowledge so we had no way of calling a cab to pick us up since our hotel is situated 40 minutes drive from the zoo. Luckily after waiting around for 30 minutes, we found gentleman that called a cab for us. If it wasn't for him, we would have been stranded at the zoo!

Hannah Mccone

Decent for Alaska. Small. But my kids had a good time finished within a hour.

Lawrence Goodrich

Nice little zoo, but the special behind the scenes tour was $28! Too expensive for very little knowledge you gain. Just walk it yourself.

Alex Slaght

We went here yesterday for our sons first birthday and we all loved it. I adore that it is a rescue/rehab zoo and they have informational plaques that tell you the story of each of the inhabitants. Great prices and amazing people!

Sharon Palacios

My kids enjoyed their time here so much. We went later in the evening but unfortunately it was still to hot for the polar bears . We still had an awesome experience with the other animals
