The entire place was dirty and smelled strongly of mildew and mold. The bathroom was out of order. The front desk girl was very mellow and didn't show us were the balls, or clubs or tally sheets were. Thankfully it's all pretty up front. The place has not been vacuumed in forever. There were tons of bits of lint and small pieces of trash laying around the courses. The various holes in the walls haven't been patched in a decade and the walls hadn't been wiped down in a long time. There were beetles crawling on the floor and ancient spider webs in the corners of the holes with giant spiders in them. There are multiple holes in the rug and areas with torn up signs on the floor that say "Don't step here" and a few holes were out of commission. One area didn't have over head lights at all. The front desk girl spent her time playing pool with a friend and watching reels while sitting on the couch. It's a shame. This is a really cool space and fun mini golf area. They should spend a week cleaning and doing minor repairs. Drain the water and fill it with rocks and make some little Alaskan land scape in it's place with tiny moose and cabins and mountains. It really wouldn't take much to bring this place back to life and I hope someone does.

The only problem at this park might be parking. I highly recommend this lowkey park.

A Wonderful Experience at the Alaska Zoo!…read more We had such a great time visiting the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage! It was a wonderful way to see Alaska's wildlife up close and learn more about the animals that call this incredible state home. The zoo is beautiful, well-maintained, and has a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. We especially enjoyed seeing the bears, moose, musk ox, and other Alaskan wildlife. The animals appeared well cared for, and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. What I loved most was that it didn't feel overly crowded or commercial. We could take our time walking around, enjoying the scenery, and really appreciating the animals. It's a great activity for visitors of all ages and definitely worth adding to your Anchorage itinerary. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would absolutely recommend the Alaska Zoo to anyone visiting Anchorage. A must-see for anyone who wants to experience Alaska's amazing wildlife!

Oh where to begin.... I would like to preface this by saying any community members who ask…read morequestions about the most recent incident have been immediately blocked by the zoo. that is enough of a red flag but i shall explain more ref flags. there have been many instances of aggression from one animal towards the next and with warning signs that have been repeatedly ignored. Most of the aggression is with the bears unfortunately. We have all heard about the most recent event, where a very small, blind, and deaf female bear was placed into the enclosure with a much larger boar (male bear) during peak mating season. that was reckless and resulted in a bear fight, the boar ripping the females skin off of her back, and it took over 30 minutes for the staff to even get to the scene and begin to assess the situation. 30 minutes. the zoo is small why did it take thirty. minutes. mind you, the warning signs hours leading up to the event were noticed by the visitors for the bears unusually closed off and defensive behavior... but the staff didn't care. (picture included) The smaller bear, btw. was never around any other bears... so why the h.. would they throw the small solo non socialized bear with a huge male bear in peak mating season??? COME TF ON NOW DUDE. what an absolutely embarrassing and disgraceful way to represent our beautiful state. common sense says that's a bad idea, but whoever was in charge of the placement shares a brain cell with a rock. NEXT. in 2022 there was a polar bear and another species, i believe a grizzly, housed together. why would you put different species of bears together? especially the 2 most aggressive species.... they also got into a fight before separation. One bear had a pretty messed up bloody jaw and there was no closure to their habitat. The staff allowed their habitat to remain open despite the animals need for "peace and quiet" as well as no regards to the families and young children who came by seeing the poor bear (picture inserted below) NEXT. There were 2 more bears that were constantly on edge constantly fighting. it took MULTIPLE incidents for them to finally separate the bears for good. I could continue with more and more they've done (or didn't do) but i think we get the point. the zoo is a sad excuse for a zoo. they're volunteer based and not part of the AZA and clearly aren't trained properly and have no real knowledge on how to read wildlife behavior and have no intention on maintaining a SAFE and FRIENDLY environment, just money hungry individ

Service is good, they're friendly. Prices are pretty normal I think for a coffee shop. For kids the play is hit or miss. Sometimes there's big kids who get into the infant area, sometimes the kids are overly aggressive and parents don't supervise their children. But this time was good, no bullies to my daughter, she got to drive the little bus and play construction. I do like it here but when there's a party going on it's a bit much and easily feels over crowded

I think we spent maybe 30 minutes playing the 18 holes with two people. I like the theming of the golf areas, one underwater and one arctic. The holes were kind of simple, but a few had cool things sprinkled in. Maybe 4 total had something cool. It was $9 for 18 holes, each person. No 3D glasses were offered but don't really need them.

All of the kids were miserable cause they were freezing we all had to wear our full winter gear inside. It's so dark in the "party room". 9/10 of the arcade games did not work. Definitely not worth the money. $200 to rent the "room" and then $20 per person/ kid on top of that to golf. It was just pathetic to be completely honest. They are many other places to host bday part events that are well worth the money and price. I wouldn't recommend this or do it again.

There's plenty of different areas for kids to explore, and jumping on the trampolines is fun. The staff is always friendly & helpful. Though there only ever seem to be 1-2 people working at a time & only at the front desk. No one is ever actually policing the park making sure people are following the rules. Maybe it's different during peak hours, but that seems generally unsafe. They just added a super cool obstacle course & slide area. Even adults can fit through it to supervise their kids: it's a really fun area, and the kids enjoy it. It's already extremely run down & it's only a few months old. I've watched it deteriorate from when it was new. The lack of rule following by patrons & lack of overall cleanliness makes this place extremely run down. After we leave here I always feel like we need to sanitize. No idea how parents are in here wearing their actual socks because it's gross. If they actually took the time to clean and care for the equipment this place would easily be 5 stars. What they're charging you'd think they'd be able to maintain it a little better at least in terms of cleaning. I understand the equipment is probably expensive to maintain. BUT if rules were enforced then the longevity of the equipment would also be preserved. Due to it being Alaska and a lack of competition it seems these types of businesses have no motivation to maintain standards.
