Mobility at the Zoo

The Alaska Zoo has over 20 acres of gravel trails which wind through grounds which are natural boreal forests. Trails are maintained throughout the year for all conditions. We do have one hill near the tiger habitat which is marked as steep and an alternate route is indicated on the black bear bridge. We offer the following options for those who feel they might need mobility assistance to visit our zoo. See our wheelchair map (pdf). Our trails are gravel so they may not be suitable for every chair.

Our All-terrain Wheelchair is unavailable at this time, however we do offer mobility cart rides. See information below.

Golf Cart Rides

Due to volunteer and staff schedules, golf cart rides will be available by advance request via email to Volunteer Coordinator Chelsea Vukovich at volunteer@alaskazoo.org. We need at least one week’s notice and rides will be scheduled if we have a volunteer driver available on a case-by-case basis. Non-refundable fee of $25 will be charged at the gate plus zoo entry.
