Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) is proud to announce that we have been recognized as a 2026 Travelers’ Choice Awards Winner — an honor that reflects the incredible support of our visitors, members, donors, and wildlife community from around the world.
Each year, the Travelers’ Choice Awards celebrate destinations and attractions that consistently receive outstanding reviews and ratings from travelers. Being included among the top-rated experiences is especially meaningful because the recognition comes directly from the people who visit and support AWCC.
Located along the scenic Turnagain Arm in Portage, Alaska, AWCC provides a unique opportunity for guests to connect with Alaska’s iconic wildlife while supporting conservation, education, and animal care efforts. From rescued bears and wood bison to moose, musk oxen, wolves, and more, every visit helps further our mission of preserving Alaska’s wildlife through conservation and education.
This award reflects the dedication of our entire team — from animal care specialists and educators to guest services staff and volunteers — who work every day to create memorable experiences while ensuring the highest standard of care for the animals that call AWCC home.
Over the past year, AWCC has welcomed guests from across the globe who came to experience Alaska’s wildlife in a meaningful and responsible way. Their stories, photos, and feedback have helped make this achievement possible.
As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to:
- Providing exceptional wildlife experiences
- Supporting conservation and rehabilitation efforts
- Educating future generations about Alaska’s wildlife
- Creating unforgettable memories for every guest
We invite both first-time visitors and longtime supporters to come experience everything AWCC has to offer in 2026 and beyond.
Thank you for helping make AWCC a Travelers’ Choice Award winner. We couldn’t have done it without you!
