A muskox cow and her calf enjoy the summer sunshine on Aug. 12, 2024. Community members can learn more about these iconic Alaska mammals during special tours for locals at the UAF Large Animal Research Station on Sept. 7.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks Large Animal Research Station will close out the summer tour season with a special event for local residents on Saturday, Sept. 7. The event will include tours and a sale in the gift shop, with everything discounted 15%.
Tours will be offered every hour on the hour beginning at 10 a.m., with the last tour starting at 3 p.m. Admission, per person, is three nonperishable food items for donation to the Fairbanks Community Food Bank. Without the donation, tours cost $15 for adults and $10 for seniors, military and students. Children ages 5 and under are admitted free.
