Alaska Zoo

Just outside downtown Anchorage, the Alaska Zoo serves as a sanctuary for orphaned, injured, and endangered animals. Spanning a natural landscape, the zoo is home to a diverse array of native Alaskan wildlife, including gray wolves, polar bears, Dall sheep, moose, and caribou. Visitors can also encounter more exotic species such as alpacas, Amur tigers, Tibetan yaks, and Bactrian camels. Today, guests can explore the grounds, observe these animals in settings that mimic their natural habitats, and learn about the zoo’s conservation efforts.
