Nature Center
Guided Group Visits
Eagle River Nature Center naturalist-guided visits are organized groups that are not part of the Anchorage School District or Mat-Su School district (including other school districts, homeschool groups, private schools and educational groups, universities, camps, scouts, and others) who hire our staff to provide them a program.
Naturalist-guided Visits:
(children and/or adults)
- Field Trips are available Wednesday-Friday.
- *Coming soon* Field trip outlines will be posted and aligned to state curriculum standards!
- Adult groups and groups visiting during the summer months may opt for either a 2 hour general Alaska nature themed hike around the Rodak Trail or 3.5 hour hike around the Albert Loop (as available).
- The standard field trip is 2 hours in length and includes a brief introduction in the main building or outside deck followed by instructional time along the 3/4 mile Rodak Nature Trail.
- Please complete the Field Trip Request Form on this page or contact us if you have questions.
Cost of Instruction
- 2-hour instructional field trips start at $12/student, with a $120 minimum.
