A 'Musk' do! - 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 :)

Musk Oxen tour - 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.

MuskOx farm - 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.
