Wild Hearts: Rescue and Rehabilitation Zoo Tour

This tour follows the wild, unexpected and occasionally unbelievable journeys that bring the animals to live at the Alaska Zoo. Along the way, your guide will share behind-the-scenes stories, animal personalities and conservation facts. Expect storytelling, close-up views, hands-on elements and interactive moments where you will find yourself guessing animal behavior trivia or having unexpected realizations about species you thought you knew! This tour truly highlights the Alaska Zoo’s mission in action. No two tours are the same, mostly because the animals refuse to follow scripts.
