Alaska’s Most Unique Venue
Bison Hall
Bison Hall is a beautiful, barn-like building with a high vaulted ceiling that showcases wood beams, a moose antler chandelier, and large windows that allow natural light to flow in. It is the perfect place to host any event from black tie to down home. For more intimate gatherings, consider the 40-person “classroom” or rent the entire hall for a larger event. Bison Hall is available for rental throughout the year. Check out our AWCC Facility Brochure for rates more and information. Email events@alaskawildlife.org to inquire about availability and facility details.

With wood bison and elk on one side and views of the water, mountains, and glaciers all around, AWCC offers a gazebo and boardwalk for family reunions and wedding couples to take breathtaking photos.
