The polar bear enclosure makes a trip to the zoo completely worth it. more on TripAdvisor

Even more than above. It is a great place to go- especially if you do not have time to go to Denali and other places to see animals. You would have to go a number of places to see all that they ... more on TripAdvisor

We have been back, again and again. I agree with, 'don't let the size fool you' comment. You may not see as many Alaska animals as you might expect, but this zoo is one of my favorites in the ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This zoo is fantastic! Small compared to other zoos, but what would you expect? People don't vacation in AK with the zoo in mind...They probably do as much as they can afford with such a short tourist season... Great exhibits, ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This place is a terrible zoo!! Animals are kept inside most of the year, leading to depression. Going here and seeing the sub-standard zoo was certainly the most depressing part of my trip. The worste part was seeing the elephant ... more on Yahoo! Travel
