The Large Animal Research Station (LARS) will be running tours in the winter at 2 p.m. on most Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Join a tour to see and learn about muskoxen, reindeer and wood bison.

Winter tour season will be February 5-April 5.

Pre-registration is required! Winter tour tickets must be purchased in advance (we do not accept walk-ins). Tour tickets sell out quickly. Buy your tickets here.

Pricing: Winter tours are $20 for adults and $15 for youth ages 5-17. Under age 5 are Free.

Come prepared for the weather, uneven ground, snow/ice, and/or mud. Tours last about 1 hour and are primarily outdoors. We will cancel tours when the weather is below -20F. We recommend wearing boots/waterproof shoes because guests will have to walk through a liquid disinfecting solution for biosecurity reasons.

Have a group of ten or more? We may be able to offer a private tour time, reach out to uaf-lars-tours@alaska.edu or call 907-474-5724
