Large Animal Research Station is one of the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ hidden gems, located on the site of a former Yankovich homestead at the border of the university’s campus. The year-round station serves as a viewing and stopping point for reindeer and muskoxen, and its colony of muskoxen are monitored for behavioral and physiological research. Guided walking tours of the facility are available for visitors between May and September, led by knowledgeable tour guides who elaborate on the farm’s history and the animal colonies. Field trips, behind-the-scenes tours, and private special events may also be scheduled for small groups and organizations by contacting the station directly.
