Musk Ox Farm

Full Disclosure: I have not taken the tour.
The tour is the best way to see the Muskox here. If you don’t take the tour you can walk around a small museum.
Why did I not take the tour? Seemed kind of spendy for what it is, especially when you can see Muskox and many other animals in Portage for… not that much more money.
The small museum area IS interesting. I love stuff like this though. Lots of great vintage photography and explanations of all things Muskox.
I really love wool. And I really love hats. However, Muskox wool hats seem like they are made to sit in a case and… not actually be worn? I’d love to buy one, can y’all make one a bit more… sporty? Also: I have a big head, and they looked tiny. I felt weird asking if I could try on a $ 150+ beanie, so I didn’t.
It’s worth a stop if you’re driving through Palmer and need to kill some time.

This was a really good experience, everything from the museum, to the tour, to the people who run the tour and work at the business. We not only learned a lot of interesting facts about musk ox, and got to see a variation in ages, sizes, etc. The creations that are made from the musk ox wool is amazing, and there is a price to match the craftsmanship and work that goes into it. The muskox were funny, they definitely knew that they were the star (s) of the show.
I think that his tour /​museum is aimed at an older audience, so small children will likely not enjoy it as much as others would, plus they have to stay in the middle of the trail since they are musk ox height, and could be perceived as challenging these beautiful animals. If you have time stop by the musk ox farm here and check it out!

Musk oxen! Lots of them!
These people are great. We visited the farm a couple of years ago and decided this was going to be one of our regular charities. We even adopted a young musk ox named Tallahassee for a year (virtual adoption — they wouldn’t let us take her home).
Along with the oxen, you’ll find a pretty interesting museum and some cool gift items. Stop in if you’re travelling through Palmer.
