One of the most amazing things about Alaska is the wildlife that we enjoy every day. While we often spot moose, elk, and even bears in the wild, we don’t typically get up close to them. Visit the Kroschel Wildlife Center for an opportunity to see moose up close – along with bears, wolves, foxes and other animals.

You'll find the Kroschel Wildlife Center in Haines, Alaska. To get there, take the Haines Highway to Mosquito Lake Road. In 1.8 miles, you'll see the signs for the wildlife center.

The center is surrounded by Alaska's natural beauty, and its home to many animals who have been orphaned, injured or rescued.

You can even feed a moose a carrot...while giving him a kiss.
