Large Animal Research Station

We loved our tour of LARS! Emma was a fantastic guide and we learned a lot about the reindeer, musk ox, and wood bison. All the animals seemed happy and well taken care of! Would 100% recommend visiting if you are in Fairbanks!

We had a great time on the $20 tour. Got to see male musk ox, reindeer w/ babies, and 2 mama musk ox w/their babies. There were also male reindeer and wood bison on the research farm. Nice little gift shop - when you buy something at least the profits go toward the program

Informative, enthusiastic tour guide and opportunity for up-close views of musk ox, reindeer and bison! My kids especially enjoyed the show-and-tell room with its horns & antlers... would definitely recommend to visitors in the Fairbanks area!!

What a great place to look for the northern lights. The university has a livecam watching for the auroras that you could track for activity. Went 3 nights, saw lights all 3 nights and 2 of the nights we saw the lights dance a bunch 🌌✨️

We went on this guided tour on August. It was very informative. Our guide had very good knowledge of these animals. She explained very well about their differences and their relationships and also their food habits. The guide also explained how these animals cope up with the weather. They also have the animal's skull, skin etc to touch and feel. The skulls are very heavy to lift. I highly recommend this tour which helps kids and adults to gain knowledge on these animals.

Such a cool tour, learned so much about the reindeer and muskoxen and got a glimpse of the bison. Highly recommend!

Went on a tour with my 1 year old son! It was very reasonably priced as well as super fun and the guys was very knowledgeable. It was 11$ for me and my little guy was free and lasted about an hour and a half. We got to see Musk Ox Males and Female and also their babies. We also got to see reindeer and their babies. It was a great experience that I really am glad we did. The trail was easy and we were able to take our stroller on it.

Fantastic stop. There is a nice short self guided tour that you can take for free to see the wood bison and fire history. You can also walk in the yard and see the musk ox for free, despite what any Great American Busybodies might tell you. There is also a paid guided tour you can take.
