We loved this place! Highly recommend! You can feed/pet the animals through the fence. Or take a specialized VIP tour and go with a guide into most pens to pet and feed animals. We spent a good 5 hrs here. So plan for a day trip. There are yaks, highland cows, elk, alpacas, moose, reptiles, reindeer, and more!
What an amazing way to experience the animals of Alaska. Reasonably priced so the whole family can enjoy. The positivity & knowledge of the staff make this a place that you MUST see if you visit the Anchorage area.
So much fun!! The animals were all well taken care of and excited to interact with people. Our tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The price point is amazing for the experience. We’ll definitely be coming back in the summer.
If you love animals this is great for adults and children. They also had a reptile house. Caribou, bison, highland cows, Reindeer, a Moose named Lilly, turkey, chickens, alpaca. Worth the money
