My last day in Anchorage and I booked a tour to the Musk Ox farm in Palmer. What a fantastic experience. My escaping anchorage tour guide was sweet, personable, friendly. I loved her stories! The visit to the Musk Oxen was so worth it! Interesting animals with fun and unique personalities. So adorable! The farm itself is lush and green, so peaceful. Museum has the soft musk ox pelts for “petting”. I recommend this tour to everyone who loves animals. I had so much fun. Next year on my return, I'll definitely be taking another adventure with Escaping Anchorage.

GIna, Thank you so much for the review! I had a wonderful time at the Musk Ox Farm! I don't think people know what they are missing in skipping this fun adventure. The farm is one of my favorite places! We look forward to Escaping Anchorage with you in the future!
