点评:My wife and I visited this during an excursion from our cruise ship. It seems the most popular excursion in Skagway is to ride the train however we are huge animal lovers and wanted the opportunity to see some native to Alaska and a refuge for them seemed interesting .
The trip from Skagway included a ferry trip to Haines (we were lucky enough to see dozens of sea lions on a rock on the way) followed by a bus ride through Haines with a very nice "salt of the earth" gentleman named Duck who brought us to Steve's place .
Super unique person Steve is . He is a showman , he cares for the animals , he gives everyone an opportunity to get great photos , and we also loved his assistant Patrick who was with the tour throughout. Honestly if these two had a television show about the refuge it would be a hit .
Most importantly the animals are well taken care of and happy. This is not a "Tiger King" situation. When Steve and Patrick walk by the enclosures the animals go crazy because they love them so much. They all are nice and fat and happy and my wife and I are animal people and we're so happy that these rescued creatures have such a great life .
We got to pet a moose , howl with a wolf , and feed a Reindeer among other things. Overall it was a great experience , and considering we got a ferry ride as well as a bus ride we considered it a value . If you don't love animals you will probably choose something else , but if you are like me and my wife this was the perfect experience and we smiled and laughed the whole time .
翻译:我和妻子在游轮旅行期间参观了这里。斯卡圭最受欢迎的旅行似乎是乘坐火车,但我们是动物爱好者,希望有机会看到阿拉斯加的一些本土动物,为它们建立一个避难所似乎很有趣。
从斯卡圭出发的旅行包括乘坐渡轮前往海恩斯(我们很幸运地在途中看到岩石上的数十只海狮),然后乘坐巴士穿过海恩斯,一位名叫达克的非常友善的“世故”绅士带我们去了史蒂夫的住处。
史蒂夫是个非常独特的人。他是一个表演者,他关心动物,他让每个人都有机会拍出很棒的照片,我们也很喜欢他的助手帕特里克,他全程陪同我们。说实话,如果他们俩有一个关于避难所的电视节目,那一定会很受欢迎。
最重要的是,动物们得到了很好的照顾,很快乐。这不是“虎王”的情况。当史蒂夫和帕特里克走过围栏时,动物们都疯狂了,因为他们太爱它们了。它们都很可爱、胖乎乎的,而且很快乐,我和我的妻子都是动物爱好者,我们很高兴这些获救的动物过着如此美好的生活。
我们抚摸了一只驼鹿,与狼一起嚎叫,喂了一只驯鹿等等。总的来说,这是一次很棒的经历,考虑到我们乘坐了渡轮和巴士,我们认为这是值得的。如果你不喜欢动物,你可能会选择其他东西,但如果你像我和我的妻子一样,这是一次完美的体验,我们一直面带微笑,笑个不停。
