Absolutely the best way to spend a day in Anchorage (even in the rain). The animals are very well cared for. We loved that we had the option to self-drive or walk around the area. The bears did not d… Sharyn F的完整评论
Curious to know what dining options there are on site or nearby, we’ll be driving from Anchorage and then continuing south to Homer. Someone mentioned a food truck, but I don’t see anything on their website. What would be the closest town/s for grabbing lunch? Thanks

Hi, when we visited in late September there was a food truck onsite and grab-to-go snack options. All outdoor, not much seating. I’d probably go prepared with your own snacks or …

Hi - website isn't working for me. I understand it's a 1.5 mi road. Do I just walk/drive through it? What can we we do/see. Thanks

You can drive it or you can walk. We walked parts of it. We were part of a tour so the van dropped us at one spot and picked us up at the entrance/exit. I also saw cars just driving through the loop. If driving you could stop to get out and take pictures. The center is home to many animals (bison, musk ox, deer, etc.) The loop takes you by their enclosures.

If I take the train to the Whittier cruise terminal, is there any way to get to the Center for a visit? Rental cars are sold out from Anchorage and from Whittier and I was trying to avoid taking a shuttle bus from Anchorage, even though I know many include a stop at the Center. Thanks for any suggestions!

My Princess Cruise ship left from Whittier on a Saturday evening. I arrived in Anchorage the day before in the early evening. The next day took the ACT bus, my hotel was the third pick up spot at 12:45 -the bus makes lots of pick ups in the city. Other Pick ups were done by about 1:30 and we we on our way. The bus was very comfortable and our guide/driver was fantastic. I learned so much about the areas we traveled through. Our stop at AWCC was for about 50 minutes, 3-3:50. Timing is important because of the tunnel schedule. The bus fare was about $60 and every reasonable for the trip and visit to the AWCC.
Is it possible to get round the center on a small mobility scooter?
