In Juneau there is a  pet a bear cage right next to the hug a timber rattler pit, which is across the street from the kiss a electric eel tank.  Any local should be able to point you in the correct direction.

Why would I joke about such serious things???????? Doesn't everyone want to pet a live grizzly as the last thing they do? 😁

Yes that will be the last thing you ever do if you pet a live grizzly, LOL.

On a sidenote in Vancouver, there's a "Breakfast with the Bears" program.  Reservations required.

If you must get close to an Alaskan brown bear, I'd suggest Katmai National Park when the salmon are running at Brooks Falls.  You share a mile long path with the bears out to the Falls/viewing platforms.  Never in a million years did I think I'd get that close to a brown bear with nothing between us.  We're talking 20 feet.  Bear didn't care about me.  He/she just wanted salmon.  Fortunately, visitors are required to listen to a 20 minute ranger talk when you arrive a Brooks telling you what to do if/when you have a close encounter.  Rule No. 1:  Don't run.  Rule No. 2:  If you can't avoid a bear on the path, just get off the path and give the bear lots of room.
