Aspen Hotels – Haines
Get the chance to see Alaskan wildlife up close in person in this wildlife center. Kroschel Films Wildlife Center was opened by Kroschel who grew up with wild animals that are under the care of his parents. And now he opened his own wildlife center and rescues orphaned animals. If you want to visit this center, you can arrange a tour with them by calling the center directly. The tour is about two hours long, showing you several species of Alaskan wildlife.
Visit Aquila the Porcupine
Aquila the Porcupine is one of whom you will meet along the tour. This adorable porcupine is said to pose for pictures while munching on branches. And if you have the chance to pet it, just make sure to pet it in one direction, as it prefers it that way. Have fun meeting Aquila and take plenty of pictures!
