This relatively new museum is a little pricey for what's inside, but the fee does go toward a good cause (the museum is currently working on an extension). There are two live American bald eagles, and a couple of other raptors with handlers giving regular demonstrations. Elsewhere, the museum focuses on Alaskan wildlife with numerous taxidermic exhibits.
