Alaska Raptor Center

I took a trip to Alaska in the month of August 2025, it was amazing! I went to Sitka to visit the Raptor center to see the various types of eagles being cared for there especially the bald eagle. It's like a rehabilitation clinic for large wounded, sick or injured birds species to recover and then set free to roam in their natural habitat. The work that is done here with many of the birds of prey is extremely humane and important to their survival primarily, bald eagles. The ones that have permanent damage, can no longer survive in the wild on their own or cannot be released for other reasons that would be detrimental to their survival are given a permanent home in the Raptor center. I really enjoyed the tour of seeing the center and watching the many large birds being helped and treated here. I'd love to visit again sometime soon in the near future and would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Sitka, Alaska to make this one of your stops and if you can give a small donation for such a body of work & worthy cause.

Just go outside

A great excursion while in Sitka. You get to see different kinds of Raptors up close. There are guides and various exhibits. Good place to soak in the wild life that makes this place

Oh oh oh

The raptor center was awesome. So cool to see so many different raptor birds up close and learn what they do to help them. Way worth it and support them! It is a non profit. You won't regret going.

I strongly support this l9velycplace and their efforts to protect, rehabilitate and return injured birds & bears into the wild. We saw many breathtaking owls, raptors, eagles and bears at this well-designed facility. It was a favorite stop. There is also a theater for educational movies and a great gift shop where every purchase supports care for the injured creatures.
