Celebrate Mother’s Day with FREE Admission for Moms

Celebrate Mother’s Day at AWCC
We would like to say thank you to all the amazing moms out there with free admission for mothers on Mother’s Day. Bring mom for a special visit on Sunday, May 10, 2026, and spend the day exploring the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center together. Enjoy the sanctuary at your own pace by walking, biking, or driving the 1.5-mile loop through 200 acres of spacious habitats where animals feel at home and showcase their natural wild behavior as education ambassadors for their species.
Guests often spot brown bears swimming, moose strutting, wood bison roaming, muskox playing, wolves posing, porcupines climbing, and more. Every visit offers something new and wild to discover.
To make the day even sweeter, mothers receive 10% off purchases in the Be Wild Gift Shop on May 10.
Located in beautiful Portage Valley and surrounded by the stunning Chugach Mountains and Turnagain Arm Inlet, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife through conservation, education, research, and quality animal care.
Free admission applies to mothers only on Sunday, May 10, 2026. Gift Shop discount excludes sale items, food, and MuskOx® products.
