Incredible experience! The staff are super friendly and very knowledgeable. The work theyre doing there to save these beautiful creatures is commendable. Cant wait to go back again.

So amazing to see these majestic birds in real life up close. These people are doing amazing things helping these raptors in need. What a wonderful facility. It was much more awesome than I had expected.

Stopped here as part of my cruise excursion. It was so fun and informative. I love their mission and the work they do. Wish I had more time to spend there!

Enjoyed the show very much.Was good to see everything they are doing. Just wish our excursion could have stayed longer. We could have easily spent 30 minutes more looking around or even shopping in the store!

What a great place to see Eagles and Owls up close. They have a flight area where the Eagles can learn to fly again to get strong enough to be released!

A very well run center to rehabilitate Birds of Prey. The staff is very friendly and informative. The enclosures are great to view the birds that cannot be released back into the wild.

Really great experience! Got to see a bald eagle up close and walked the enclosures to see more birds of that variety. My favorite was Onyx the Raven!

Wow!! Got to see some amazing creatures up close and personal. The guides were great!

Cool place. Most of the programs not running right now.

Kincaid, Shelia, and Spirit (two humans and one eagle, respectively) put on an amazing presentation on the Alaska Raptor Center. This was just a really cool place. They take really good care of these birds (owls and ravens too).For this city kid who has only see a bald eagle from a webcam or from the ground looking up, this was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it.

It was pretty cool to see the birds/raptors they had here. Staff was friendly and willing to answer any questions and they release the birds back into the wild if they are able to. One eagle named Volta was electrocuted nearly 30 years ago and is still there in their care as he will never be able to fly again. Check it out and learn some stuff!

Aaahmazing! Injured birds are brought here from all over AK to be rehabbed and released. Really beautiful set up with a vet hospital and flight rehab training center.

A brief and informative presentation followed by a walk about. 15$ a visitor. We showed up as a tour bus arrived so no waiting. Supporting the raptor center is directly supporting the cause. Beautiful bird sanctuary and hospital. Ive never been so close to such amazing birds.

Informative and exited staff. The center offers a wealth of information on our avian friends. Get a chance to see some amazing birds up close and ask their very knowledgeable staff all the questions you could ever want think of. The gift shop has some cool memorabilia which proceeds go to supporting the center.

If you have a couple hours of free time, consider visiting the Alaska Raptor Center. Friendly and patient staff and youre able to get up close to the birds theyre caring for. No, youre no allowed to hold or interact with the birds, but if you have a camera with any sort of zoom, you can get some really nice photos. The highlight of the day was when they brought out a snowy owl for a live presentation. Normally they have an eagle, but he wanted the day off. No complaints from us, we love all raptors. Admissions help the funding of the center, which we are happy to support.

Wow! These birds are amazing. The people who work there are so smart and care so much about the raptors. I was in awe of the birds beauty. My favorite was the raven and the small owls. Of course the bald eagles are so majestic. Highly recommend!

A must see in Sitka! These birds are so lucky to have a place like this to recover, rehabilitate, and return to their natural habitat. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. Birds who are not able to be released back into the wild live out their days as “ambassadors” for the center, helping with their educational and fundraising programs.

Awesome volunteers/employees. Super fun and educational experience for me and my kids! I love that the gift shop wasnt over priced it was kind of shocking! We loved seeing Spirit in person, very beautiful eagle.

I was in awe to see so many bald eagles in one place and the work they do to help them recover is amazing.

Great way to get up close to these amazing birds and learn more about them. Staff were knowledgeable and engaging, and the birds were beautiful!

Great place to learn about raptors and see them up close. A bit far from town but walkable. Would visit again.

We were there on a cruise. We had a great time. It was fun to get up close and personal with the eagles. Kids would really enjoy this visit and it wasnt too expensive for a family.

Beautiful surroundings for this bird rehab center. The bald eagle recovery area gives an interesting opportunity to see eagles on the mend up close. The handful of trails are well kept and easy to walk with gorgeous glimpses of the river.

Beautiful birds

An amazing place where birds are taken and treated when injured. They release everyone possible with as little people interaction as possible. An awesome place to see large birds of all kinds up close! Cute gifts and curios!

Great place. They do a fantastic job preserving and taking care of all the birds. Dont miss to visit this place

Seeing the beautiful bald eagles 🦅in rehab was heart warming. They typically take 6 months to heal. We also saw a variety of owls. 🦉A must visit. 🌟

Wonderful idea to rehabilitate/share knowledge with the public. The transparency of the building and the knowledge and hospitality of the staff make this a must visit for anyone who is interested in animal care/how humans effect raptors. Stay coasting out there, raptorinos.

An interesting place to visit. The birds you’ll seen depend on what they are rehabbing at the time. Guide very knowledgeable.

Great place to bring the kids, cost a few bucks to get in but it goes twords a good cause. Has a decent little gift shop and a cool short film about what they do at the center. All around fun for the family.

The young lady who gave the presentation with the eagle Spirit was excellent patiently answered a slew of questions and was very informative !

This center does an excellent job rehabilitating injured raptors. Their facilities are beautiful.

A well run educational facility for people and a much needed recovery center for raptors.

Great trails to walk around. Wasnt able to go inside in 2020 due to Covid, but I was able to adopt some birds online in some family members names. Wonderful experience and interaction with the staff.

Small place, interesting. Beautiful birds. Short stop.

Such an interesting and lovely place to walk about. The cost is a bit higher than I expected but goes to a very worthy operation. Thank you!

This was an absolutely great place to visit. We were able to walk there from the cruise ship port. The path was relatively flat and well-marked. It was easy to get close up pictures of some amazing Raptors and the presentation was enjoyable. This was my first visit here but I would definitely come again next time. The staff was both knowledgeable and friendly.

Very interesting explanation of wildlife rehabilitation for raptors (physical therapy for birds).

The Bald Eagles are magnificent! We enjoyed observing all the raptors!

Even as a long-time Sitka resident, I never get tired of visiting the raptor center! Beautifully educational, and the staff are very helpful! Especially Kincaid, hes the man with all the answers.

These guys capture injured birds including eagles and owls, nursing back to health and a leasing back into the wild when possible. Its a lovely mission.

We enjoyed our COVID-19 conscious tour of the Alaska Raptor Center in August 2020. Pricing is inline with other attractions like this weve experienced around the United States. The animal handler was knowledgeable and personable, you could tell they really loved their job. Spirit and Sitka, the bald eagles, were great ambassadors for their species. The development staff that has been working there for 11+ years was more robotic which was our least favorite part of the tour. We felt like it was an audio-tour rather than a tour with a live-person. Overall, a great hour in the Tongass.

Love their efforts to rehabilitate injured birds of prey

Love what this bird refuge is doing. Non government funded but extremely passionate about what they do. Get up nice and close to these wonderful birds of prey (Bald Eagles and Raptors) or even adopt one to help fund this great organisation.

Quick and educational tour. The facility is comfortable and well set up. The owls and eagles up close are a must see.

This center is world class! You get to view birds of prey from an indoor flight/viewing area the size of a football field - Ive never seen anything this impressive before! Outdoors you also can see the eagles in a forest enclosure from above. There is a really interesting great grey owl - such a beautiful creature. Tito is inside a the guest services desk - a tiny owl that is just adorable! The center provides care for injured birds and those that cant be released reside there. Such an amazing place!!! I see why National Geographic Live did a show on them!!!

Incredible to see these amazing birds so close up, and interacting with humans; others protected from us to be released.

Great place to stop by cool animals super close up

What an experience!! This center was an amazing, must see stop! The people are so knowledgeable and the birds there, whether destine to fly free or stay protected on site, are breathtaking, awe inspiring, and a must-see!! We meet a show stopping Snow owl, watched 27 bald eagles in a flight tunnel and many more birds safely healing, and living it up!

This amazing place is part museum, part education center, and all rehabilitation. The raptors are all helped and given the best opportunity to heal. The people are incredible, and every time I get back to Sitka, I stop by. Small but so informative and so incredible!

Awesome to see the birds so close up. Great work they do here with injured birds.

Excellent! Staff was so organized, knowledgeable and friendly.

We were very impressed by the work done here. Loved seeing bald eagles up close and personal and lived that they sheltered so many.

Very nice facility....walk down to the river to see the salmon spawning

This was a great experience. Learned a lot about raptors in the house we spent here. Came up close to some beautiful birds.

What an awesome place to visit in Sitka! The staff was very friendly and answered all of our challenging questions about the facility and the birds they have there. Definitely very informative about the raptors in Alaska. A great stop for people of all ages.

Fun place for family great walks, animals up close all types of raptor. recovery and display center. worth it.

Very informativeDoing great work!

Great place to see bald eagles and other birds of prey up close. Had a good time...

Where else can u see Eagles, Hawks, and Owls so close and talk to pros doing inspiring work. Excellent tour

It was a really cool experience to see and learn about the raptors. They also do an anual spring release of the Eagles. It was fantastic. You can tell how much love and care are taken for these wonderful birds.

Great experience!! A must visit when in Sitka

Nice facility to see eagles up close.

Wonderful experience! Staff was friendly and informative!

Loved it! Beautiful owls, the eagles where great also, but owls are my favorite

The Raptor Center provides rehabilitative and on-going care for injured and imprinted raptors, which includes eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls. They work with the birds to help restore their strength and hunting skills for release back into the wild, and for those unable to survive the wild, they are re-homed to zoos around the country. This as a great educational center for children and adults alike.

So so great to see all the raptors

The tour is very educational . There are around 20-30 birds. Just 15 mins walk from Sitka National Historic Park.

Awesome faculty and great to see the birds in rehab.

Beautiful amazing facility they are taking care of injured bald eagles and other birds nursing them back to health we will be adding their nonprofit to my donations list this year going forward.

It was great to see the eagles up close. This is where they take in Bald Eagles that have been injured and try to rehabilitate then and set them loose again in the wild if possible. Enjoyed it throughly!

Lots of raptors to get up close to and admire.

Loved it. Closest I can imagine being to an eagle!

Amazing opportunity to see birds of prey up close

Love that they are rehabbing these bald eagles and others! Have beautiful walking trails. We also saw wild bald eagles in this area. We found it all very interesting!!

Definite must go! Best of Sitka!

HUGE BIRDS OF PREY! Stunning, extremely close look at the bald eagles and other animals. This hospital nurses eagles that have lost the ability to fly, or can no longer fend for themselves in the wild.

Brilliant! A wonderful place to visit

Amazing! Quality location.

Great little find in Sitka, a lot of fun with some amazing birds!

Very cool place, focus on education for patrons, and saving amazing aviary creatures for rerelease if possible! Give yourself some extra time here, there is tons to see and learn. I even picked a Salmon Berry to try!

What an amazing experience. We went for the 1:30pm tour. The space was clean, the staff was very friendly and educational with all of their explanations. Our educational bird was Spirit; watching her eat salmon eggs out of her handlers hand while making her little squaks was so cool! Highly recommend

If youre planning an Alaskan cruise, look for an itinerary that stops in Sitka and make it your priority to visit the Alaska Raptor Center. You will get an education and the birds are both amazing and beautiful.

Nice work on protecting and restoring health to birds.

Outstanding opportunity to see Eagles and Owls being rehabilitated for return to wild. Several bird releases throughout year... follow on Facebook

Only place to get that close to owls and eagles!

Loved this place. Great things happening to save these animals.

The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. The birds are diverse and well cared for.

Awesome experience. Wonderful trail.

Very enjoyable trip, great staff and it was great to see the eagles up close and personal...

We stopped by here as part of a multi-stop cruise excursion and after the guided tours, we only got to spend about 5 minutes walking around the place. That said, what we did see was awesome and I am very sad we didnt get to spend more time there.The first thing we did was walk into an area with double-sided mirrors that had bald eagles on the other side. They told us these eagles were being rehabilitated and were in varying stages of being able to fly again.Then we went into a big room and were told a little about the place and a woman brought in a juvenile bald eagle. Outside, they had other bald eagles and hawks and owls.Highly recommended if you are into birds, but if you are coming through a cruise, Id skip some of the guided tours and just explore outside

Had a great time

We loved visiting the Raptor Center. We learned so much about Eagles and rehabilitation. We were super lucky to be there at the exact right time to see them release 2 eagles back into the wild. We also lucked out and finished up tight before two giant tour buses arrived. The place filled up pretty quickly after that.We walked through the Sitka National Historical Park and then walked to the Raptor Center. After that it was an easy walk back into town and back to our cruise ship.

Great non-profit dedicated to the rehabilitation of area raptors. Friendly staff, moderate fee, beautiful birds from which to learn about raptors.

We enjoyed the tour to see how they are helping the eagles.

Beautiful birds. Theyre doing an amazing job.

Great place to visit loved what they are doing to protect the birds

This was an amazing display of what people can do to help animals.

I have not been there but have watched shows on Discovery with Disney+ and am SO impressed with what they do. Some of the shows have brought me to tears like the one with Fuzz Lightyear, a baby eagle who had to be euthanized. The work they do is AMAZING!!!

Great place but sadly only had 30 minutes on my guided tour so we didnt get to see much I would suggest at least hour minimum. Staff was eager to share their knowledge. Spirit the Bald Eagle was very impressive .
