This is a tour of the...

This is a tour of the Alaskan Wildlife Conservation Center and a lunch at a local brewery. The tour guide drives you around and tells you all about the animals while answering any questions you have. During the drive to and from he also gave us background on the area and brewery. It was a lot more of a guided tour than I had realized and I was very happy to have had someone with the knowledge of the local animals and area.

Chef Luke and the howling wolf

Chef Luke was a great tour guide! Super friendly and very informative. We had the best day exploring at the wildlife center (he talked to the wolf and got it to howl for us!), followed by lunch at Girdwood brewery.

Wonderful afternoon in Anchorage

We took the afternoon tour with Chris and this tour was better than expected. We learned a lot about Alaska and the Anchorage area on this tour and we had a wonderful lunch and beer tasting at Girdwood Brewery. The wildlife center was great for all ages. We highly recommend this tour!!

Highly Recommend!

Took the afternoon tour with Chris. The ride was comfortable and Chris was great! He was knowledgeable and friendly. We stopped at Girdwood Brewing Company and was able to do tasters of their beers and ciders and had lunch at the food trucks that were on site. The Wildlife Conservation was nice and the animals seemed to be very well taken care of. We were able to get some really good pictures. Would definitely recommend to someone visiting Anchorage.
