The basics

The Alaska Zoo is one of Anchorage’s most family-friendly attractions. Visitors can purchase standard admission to the zoo or opt for a combo tour, which may include other popular sights, like the Botanical Gardens and Anchorage Museum. The zoo offers daily critter chats, special animal encounter experiences, and behind-the-scenes “discovery tours” in June, July, and August.
