Went there. Took lots of pictures and had a blast. Steve puts on a good show and not only do you get to get up close and personal with the animals. You get to touch and hold a few as well. It's not a zoo, it's a wildlife immersion. Recommend stopping by. More

This is one of the best tours in Haines. It is important that you know that this is a wild habitat environment, so don't expect concrete paths, plexiglass viewing areas or graveled picnic areas. This is definitely the "wilds of Alaska" and rightly so if you want to see real Alaskan wild animals. There are some hills and grades that... More

I borrowed the slogan from the Kroschel wildlife center website and used it as the title of this review, because I truly agree with it! Touring the center was one of the best experience I have had. I was amazed by the interaction between Steve and all the animals there. You can tell that these animals had been taken great... More

We booked the Kroschel Wildlife Centre Tour through Holland America. On the bus trip to the Centre, we saw a grizzly in the wild. This was a great start and the Centre itself didn't disappoint either. Steve and Mario were very entertaining hosts / guides. My children, wife and I all enjoyed the large variety of animals and the opportunity... More

We went to Kroschel Wildlife Center through our cruiseline - which happened to be Holland America. On the days they host cruiseship tours, they don't take private tours. The bus ride out was great for a start. When we got there, Mario met us at the front gate with a red tailed hawk. Then Steve came down to meet us... More

My wife, two adult friends, and I toured this facility as part of a Princess Tour, and I can heartily recommend it. It really is as much a walking, educational and entertaining show as it is a tour – and you get to see and touch an amazing number of Alaskan wild animals. If you want to see and bet... More

The Kroschel Wildlife Center is a must see! We found out about this center through our cruise line and booked a tour. I expected a zoo like atmosphere but when we arrived it was much like the wild. The center is ran by The Kroschel's and a small crew. We had the chance to experience wild animals in there own... More

Travelers: 2 adults, 1 child 6 years old We took a 2 week cruise in Alaska. Fabulous! Every town in Alaska is something special. But our favorite was Haines. We visited the Kroschel Films Wildlife Center [--] Here you can see, touch & feed animals that can be very elusive to see in the wild. When we were there we... More
