Polar bear pool play. We can't ever predict when they will jump in! If you stop by and don't see them swimming on the way in to the zoo, be sure to check back on your way out. We also have a live polar bear camera which has the pool in view if you want to see what is happening from home. Photo by John Gomes. https://www.alaskazoo.org/polar-bear-camera

50 Years of Service to Alaska’s Wildlife

So many things have changed at the Alaska Zoo over the past 50 years. With all of these changes, the core mission has remained the same. We have helped to rescue, care for, house and rehome thousands of animals in need from Alaska’s wilds. Many are orphaned, others are injured and some arrived here as animals in need of homes from other facilities. We are proud of our mission and look forward to continuing for future generations. If you are interested in supporting our work, visit our Support Options page for a variety of ways you can offer your time, talents or donations. We would not be who we are today without the support of Alaskans and visitors to the Last Frontier. We are Alaska’s only zoo and we take great pride in our growth and services we offer to all visitors. Check out our Education programs and Calendar of Events to learn about zoo opportunities.
