For more information please view our facility use policy. To reserve a space, please complete the last page - the use request form, and return it to the Visitor Center Manager.

Do you have a special event that you would like to hold at a spectacular location? Alaska Islands & Ocean Visitor Center's sixty-acre site is set near Bishop's Beach with a magnificent view of Kachemak Bay. Take a virtual tour to become better acquainted with us.

The Lab classrooms are only available if combined with an educational program hosted by Kachemak Bay Research Reserve staff.

Eligible Users and Uses:
The Alaska Islands & Ocean Visitor Center is a partnership between the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge
(U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) and the Kachemak Bay Research Reserve (Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game) in which education and interpretation of the marine ecosystem is an emphasis. The facility may not be used for activities deemed inappropriate by the Managers of the Refuge or Reserve. Priority for use is given to events in support of the agencies’ missions. Private use of the facility for events or functions is not encouraged, to avoid a sense of competition with private business. The following types of groups can use the Alaska Islands & Ocean Visitor Center:

Community-based nonprofit and professional organizations
Education organizations and K-12 and University educators and students
Organizations for non-partisan public issue awareness and education and nonpartisan organizations promoting participation in the political process

The Islands & Ocean Visitor Center cannot be used for any activity that advances a particular religious doctrine or for any partisan political activity. Because of the high demand for space, we cannot book regular weekly or monthly board meetings of any one group.
