Anchorage/Wildlife Conservation center

[Mailgirl]

With traffic and leaving from Downtown Anchorage, about 10:00 am. How long will it take to get to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center? To who ever has been there how long did you stay?

Our cruise tour stayed at the Anchorage Marriott for a night and left hotel around 11:00am. The bus ride was less than an hour and a half. Our group spent probably around 1.5 hours at the center and that was plenty of time to see all of the animals, shop in gift shop and buy a snack. We were there in June and the mosquitos ate us alive. So take insect repellent.

We were on a bus, not self-drive. I think it took us just around an hour from the dock to the Center.

We went on a bus and took about one hour. No mosquitos for us in September. Going there again this year June and renting a car as there are so many cool things to see near Girdwood. LOVE Wildlife Conservation Center, as well as the nearby Portage Glacier. Have an awesome time!

From downtown it'll probably take about an hour or maybe a little longer to get to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. I would figure a minimum of an hour there. But I could easily spent two or three hours there watching the animals...

Thank you, everyone this has helped with my planning.

It's a little over an hour to drive.

I'd say a minimum of 1 hr .... kinda depends on the weather and the activity level of the animals. If the brown bears are feeling playful you can easily watch their antics for an hour, but if they're asleep, you have a look and move on. Or if there are lots of babies and it's bottle feeding time, there's another hour !
