Learned A Lot
This is a guided walk around the fenced areas where the musk oxen live. The tour guide was very informative and the walk was easy. I knew nothing about musk oxen, so all information was welcome. The staff were very accommodating. There is a requirement to schedule a tour, but they work to accommodate. We arrived late for our tour. We had informed them we would be late, so they were quite willing to change our time. Further, when a number of people accumulated waiting for the 2 PM scheduled tour, they did an extra one before 2 to limit the waiting time while still conducting the scheduled 2 PM tour. The walk is easy on an reasonably regular train, although there are some modest slopes involved. I am unsure about it's accommodation for wheel chairs and walkers, so I would check when I made the reservation if I wanted to be sure about accessibility.

Rather Interesting
After an amazing day of touring the Mat-Su valley it was not so exciting to stop and see these creatures. Granted the Farm has done a splendid job of creating a very informative tour and it is interesting and nice to see how they are working with the Musk Ox to conserve them. I was hoping to purchase a product made with the fibers but they are very, very cost prohibitive for the average tourist.
