This 200-acre centre offers visitors the chance to see native species like bears, moose, bison, musk oxen, elk, caribou, eagles, and wolves up close in naturalistic enclosures. You can walk or drive the 1.5-mile loop around the grounds, take guided tours, or join feeding sessions and educational talks. It’s a popular stop for families, photographers, and anyone wanting to learn more about Alaskan wildlife conservation efforts.

This spot is famous for two things: ✅ Beluga whale watching — in late summer and early fall, you might spot beluga whales swimming close to shore, chasing salmon during the incoming tide. ✅ Dramatic mountain and water views — it’s a favourite for photographers, especially at sunset, and also great for spotting Dall sheep on the cliffs above.

This is a family-friendly, easy-access spot ideal for birdwatching, photography, and nature walks, especially in spring and summer when the birds are most active. There’s a small car park, interpretive signs, and binoculars are recommended for the best viewing
