The center, which opened to the public in 1993, also educates visitors about Alaska's wildlife. Coyotes peer out from behind the brush while a bald eagle swoops in on the salmon remains left by a grizzly bear. Wood Bison plod through 65 acres of tidal flat terrain, as part of a program that will one day restore the species to the Alaskan wilderness. Animals that cannot be released into the wild are given a permanent home at the center. Come be a part of these exciting programs and watch these animals display their natural, “wild”, behavior.

We took 2 tours with Planet Earth Tours; Glacier & Wildlife Discovery Tour and the Day in Seward & Kenai Fjords National Park. Both tours were amazing. We had Phil and Matt as our tour guides, respectively, and they were both friendly, informative and exceptional. Major Marine Tours was the partner for the boat portion of the tour. Experienced captain, Nicole, and fantastic crew. We saw 19-20 humpback whales feeding together. The owner, Albert, courteously picked us up in Anchorage after returning on the Alaska Railroad. All around amazing experience with great people. We would highly recommend.

Phil was our tour guy for the day. He was fabulous! He shared wonderful insight about the local area as we drove to the various stops on our tour. And loved it was a small group…total of 5! Tour was a total 7+ hours and definitely felt like we got our money’s worth with the many stops. Highly recommend.
