Wonderful and unique experience! The ride to the MuskOx farm/conservatory was very scenic- oh those mountains!! The farm was fantastic and the staff there were kind and very informative. I loved getting to hear all of Brittany’s stories and she clearly loves her job so much. This was the only tour I could find going to this great location and I would highly recommend it :)

A great countryside trip,...

Daniela_D, Aug 2025

A great countryside trip, suitable for everyone who wishes to get familiar with musk oxen in a beautiful farm. Brittney is a great driver, guide and a such a nice person!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! It was a pleasure!

Prehistoric animals are cool

Laura_S, Aug 2025

Musk oxen are fascinating animals, and it was great to see them being cared for so humanely. Brittany with Escaping Anchorage was so nice and very accommodating, even giving us the option to postpone the trip because the weather wasn’t ideal. (We went anyway and were glad we did.) Wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you so much for supporting my small business! I'm so glad you decided to go even with the weather!

life at Musk Ox farm

thoroughly entertaining with my daughter Lisa who is a member of the Musk family. She is a sponsor of Fatta but did noy get to see her up

Response from Host, Jun 2025

I was sad we weren't able to get closer to see little Frittata, combing season does make the farm a bit chaotic, but I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tour! Feel free to reach out if you'd like photos from that day!

Unique, fun experience!

Lots of fun. Guide was great. Musks are big and got to see baby musks. Would do it again if we went back to Alaska

We love taking folks to the Musk Ox Farm! Thank you for supporting my small business!

Good experience

Brett_S, Aug 2024

Good but pricey. Basically a drive to the farm for a tour and back. Appreciate Brittany greatly! Would definitely support this and try her other tours

A 'Musk' do!

Kinsey_B, May 2024

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We loved Brittany so much on our first tour to the Musk Ox Farm that we went back to our hotel and booked another tour to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center later that same week. SUPER friendly, SUPER knowledgable and SUPER passionate about Alaska - everything you would hope for in a guide and more :)

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you so much for all of your support and the kind words! I had so much fun with you two!

Musk Oxen tour

Nola_T, Jul 2023

My granddaughter and I really loved this tour. The musk ox farm was interesting and our guide was full of facts and information about each of the animals. Brittany from Escaping Anchorage that drove us out there was also entertaining and very knowledgeable about the area she drove us through.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Nola, it was a pleasure to host you and your granddaughter! I'm so glad you had a good time learning about the Musk Oxen, they are such interesting animals. Thank you for Escaping Anchorage with me!
