    I love the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center because u can walk or drive and see the animals and it never gets boring. I love the bear exhibits. The staff are always friendly and it’s fun learning facts and watching them feed the animals. I have learned a lot of animal facts from the conservation center. I live in Anchorage Alaska and I go there often. And a great place for tourists to see animals in a very safe environment.
