• The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center serves as a nonprofit entity focused on protecting Alaska’s wildlife through efforts in conservation, education, research, and high-quality animal care. The center provides a sanctuary for injured and orphaned animals, offering them a permanent habitat. It features various educational programs and daily guest activities, including the Walk on the Wild Side tour, which allows closer insights into the local wildlife. In summer, the Center provides chances for intimate animal interactions, featuring species such as moose or brown bears. Visitors can either drive through the 1.5-mile scenic loop or stroll through the 200-acre AWCC campus, which houses a variety of animals including black and brown bears, moose, elk, lynx, caribou, muskox, bison, reindeer, wolves, foxes, and deer. • Local Food Trucks are available daily during the summer season and on weekends throughout winter months. Lunch at a picturesque brewery alongside food trucks offers an opportunity to enjoy excellent food, craft beers, and natural beauty. Imagine dining at a wooden picnic table under the sun, with lush vegetation and rolling hills as your backdrop. The brewery features a 3,040 square foot taproom with sweeping views of the Chugach mountains, along with a cozy timber-framed bar. There is also a beer garden complete with a fire pit for those who prefer a more outdoor setting. • Earthquake Park provides a glimpse into a significant event in Alaskan history: the 1964 Earthquake, which measured 9.2 in magnitude on March 27 – Good Friday, marking the largest earthquake recorded in North America. Evidence of the substantial quake is visible through the steep drop-off to the north of the park and the unique rippling hills in the adjacent forest. The park features educational displays detailing the geological events of that day and the history of Anchorage before and after the earthquake. • Alaska's Lake Hood Seaplane Base is recognized as the largest and busiest seaplane base in the world. Located about four miles from downtown Anchorage, visitors can observe nearly 1,000 floatplanes stationed around the lakeside base. The site provides opportunities to watch floatplanes take off and land while learning about its historical significance. • The remaining 1.5 hours are designated for travel time between stops, from pickup in Whittier to drop-off in Anchorage. • Indulge in sampling exquisite chocolates at four different kitchens: the Jam and Jelly Kitchen, Hot Kitchen, Candy Kitchen, and the Molding Room. Each kitchen can be viewed through windows in the store, where visitors can also see Alaska's 20-Foot Chocolate Waterfall. This impressive feature utilizes over 3,000 pounds of chocolate and includes authentic copper candy kettles, as well as a specialized warming and mixing system. The chocolate flows from the fountain head, cascades down the kettles, and ultimately pools in a swirling chocolate basin, creating a remarkable visual display.
