The Wildlife Center is a great place to visit and our guide Martin really made it a special experience. He is knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. He tells you about more than just the Center but also what you are seeing around you. Easy to talk with and enjoy your time.

The Wildlife Conservation Center is about 1 hour from Anchorage. Our guide (Francisco) made stops on the way there and back. The stops were tailored to what we were interested in.
In addition to the stops, once at the Wildlife Conservation Center, we were on our own to explore, approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. Francisco did give us several options. 1) he parks in the parking lot and we explore on our own and meet him back in the parking lot. 2) we explore on our own, but he follows along in his car, in case we need a ride. 3) explore on our own, and call him when we were ready to have him meet us.
This is tailored to how much or little you were interested/able to walk.
On the way back, we asked for dinner recommendations. Once we decided on a restaurant (Altura), we asked him to drop us off there. It was a restaurant that was popular among locals, not a touristy spot. We thoroughly enjoyed the vibe and the food.
Lot of details of Alaska on the way to the Sanctuary, very knowledgeable and great personality. All in the family liked him very much. He took care of every single detail. Thanks for a great experience!!!
Our tour guide was great. He knew the history of Alaska, where the best foto shots are and very experienced with the wildlife. We had a great time
Martin was our guide and he was wonderful. Told us alot about Alaska on the way. He helped my mum get to see the animals as she has troubles walking. Nothing was to much trouble. Loved seeing all the animals.
Thankyou
We had a wonderful time! Our guide Martin was very knowledgeable and funny, and he made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see, and did not rush us. My husband has mobility issues, and he was able to limit the walking that my husband had to do as well, which I appreciated.

My wife and I did the VIP tour of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) with Martin, and we had a great time. Martin taught us a lot about Alaska, the Anchorage area, Turnagain Arm and the AWCC. The tour was educational and entertaining, we certainly would recommend Martin and the tour.
East, fun trip. Martin is an excellent, personable and knowledgeable. Took good care of us throughout
Martin picked us up on time at our hotel. That’s a great start! The van is a clean and comfortable vehicle. Martin was professional, friendly, and shares plenty of good history and stories during the scenic drive. He gave us water and snacks for the day which was great when its a half day. We had a couple stops that were interesting and having a driver to navigate the AWCC made the visit a breeze. We enjoyed some hotdogs after and shared a meal. Overall, a wonderful time and the AWCC is worth the visit and some donations!
Very personal, informative tour. Martin was very friendly and had an excellent knowledge of all aspects of Alaskan life and environment.
Thoroughly enjoyed the morning and would definitely recommend
What a delightful experience! Our guide Martin deserves a 5 star +++ review. He was courteous, kind, extremely knowledgable and most of all we could tell he loves his job!
The AWCC will always be a highlight of our trip to Alaska. The beauty we experienced and the information we received there made the trip most worthwhile.
Thank you, Martin!
Don’t spend the money!!! The Wildlife Conservation Center is doing helpful things to promote growth of species which I appreciate .
The property is horrible, the animals & their space isn’t well kept. Overgrowth kept viewing areas to a MINIMUM.
Our host, Martine was wonderful. Very informative, safe driver, fun and kind. If it wasn’t for him I would I told him to take me back.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
Unfortunately you've rated us a 1 star for a wonderful service.
The AWCC is a separate business and it's out of our control.
You may want to reach out to the them to help them improve, however in the meantime we will forward your comments to them.
We spent a delightful afternoon with Martin going to the Alaska Conservation Center, with several well timed and interesting short stops between Anchorage and our visit with a large number of animals native to the area. We were happy to hear of the successful rescue effort results from the Center, and would never have been able to leave Alaska with the insights we garnered without Martin as our guide for our special experience.
Very interesting and informative guide. Martin stopped and showed the local sights and advised us as we traveled
Good close-up view of animals that you may not get to see in the wild.. our guide Martin was very good
Very nice tour of the beauty of Alaska. The 35 mile drive to the WIldlife Conservation Park had amazing views.
Martin was very knowledgeable about a wide-variety of aspects of Alaska. The Wildlife Park gave you an opportunity to get close to bears, bison, elk, moose & other wildlife.
Martin was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond with stops and history. He took us around the conservation making sure we saw everything:) he was a pleasure to hang out with all day. Highly recommended this tour!
It was one of Our best personal tour experience ever. Martin is fantastic person. He has a great knowledge of the Alaskan life, wildlife and plants. He gave us lot of information during the tour.
Martin was great! He’s knowledgeable, professional and polite. This tour was well planned. Martin knows the conservation center well.
Tour guide was friendly, safe, informative and excellent. Could possibly be more fairly priced but was worth it to experience a little of Alaska in the short amount of time we had available.
Martin was the fantastic. His knowledge and love of Alaska was incredible. One of the best guides I’ve had of many. Even though it was windy, rainy and cold, it did not matter.
The Wildlife Conservation Center is amazing - the entire center, including all of the staff are 100% focused on caring for the animals. The grounds are well maintained and easy to walk or drive through. There is a wide variety of animals to visit and learn about. There are several educational sessions you can attend. The gift shop is great and the restrooms are very nice. This is a great tour for families, very kid friendly. Our tour guide Martin was fantastic. On the drive to and from he gave us a wonderful history of Alaska lesson, and while at the conservation center he was an excellent guide.
What an amazing tour with Martin! He was such a great guide - friendly and full of information! The wildlife conservation center was such a special place - all the animals were showing off for us and we had plenty of time to enjoy it all! Highly recommend!
Martin Escabedo gave our group of 4 a wonderful humorous and insightful tour of as we drove to the Conservation Center. His knowledge of Alaska history was woven into information about camping, fishing, nature,flowers, animals, seasons of Alaska weather and his personal profound love of this vast state.
we enjoyed attending the conservation. being able to see the animals up close and learning about each of them, but the porcupine stole the show. Our guide Martin was an excellent tour guide and was very knowledgeable about many things from the flowers along the roadside to the animals and what they ate. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Best vip tour, Martin is great guide! He has great knowledge of the area and seamless movement across the AWCC to make everything happen in timely manner.
Martin was amazing and so knowledgeable! We had someone on the tour who can’t walk very far and Martin made sure to make the experience as simple for him as possible. Definitely recommend!
Excellent, our guide Martin was very attentive and told us a lot about the nature and life of Alaska, he is a cultured and very attentive person.
