Review & FAQ:

The Musk Ox Farm began in late 1940s when the gorgeous animal was on the verge of extinction. John Teal searched for ways for the native people to peacefully live with these animals, and eventually opened up the state’s very first domestic ox farm with the assistance of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation and the University of Alaska. Visitors are welcome to explore the farm and get up close with these amazing animals; there are 45-minute long guided tours that will teach you about the area’s history while being able to see calves, seasoned old bulls, and everything in between. Other aspects include engaging exhibits and a gift shop filled with hand-combed qiviut fiber, yarn, and garments.
