Great opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife in a short period of time. Very nice enclosures as well, the animals seem to have a lot of space. Nice 5km loop walk or you can take a shuttle.

Nice stroll along the Yukon River, I'd rate as an easy hike with good variety of trails. Looking for more challenging try Grey Mountain.
