Have you ever seen a musk ox up close? They are very unique! Our guides fed the musk ox and reindeer so that we could see them more closely. It was a good side trip during the summer.

Even though it is winter and the summertime tours are not available, it was great to drive up past the U of a and see the musk ox and the reindeer running around in the snowy fields. would love to go back for the tour...

It's very closed to the fairbanks city and is a large area for watching the northern lights. We went there twice during our 4-day stay in Fairbanks and encountered the beautiful aurora in the sky.

The animals are still there but nobody was there to unlock and let us pay to see the muskoxen, reindeer, and caribou up close. Fortunately I have a powerful set of... More

We visited LARS expecting to get some good photo ops. There were none. You were not allow up to the fence and you just can't take good pictures through a fence. We were shown only a few musk ox and only three caribou. We would like to be able to see what goes on in the barn as far as... More

From the front of the property there appears to be a path that surrounds the animal pens. Be careful. Path does not surround entire complex. I found myself tromping through the bush for 2.5 hours. Was nice to see the animals.
