We ended up here because of a suggestion from a local. They sure sent us in the right direction. I'm a huge fan of the not for profits and this was a great one! We took the tour and got to see baby musk oxen as well as adults that were in their breeding pins. We had a scary moment... more

Me and my boyfriend visited the musk ox farm in the summer. You can pay a small fee to take a tour of the facility with the proceeds going to benefit the preservation of these animals in Alaska. Our tour guide was informative and we even got to see a new baby! So cute. I think kids would really enjoy... more
