Visitor Information
The Musk Ox Farm is nestled in the Matanuska Valley just outside of Palmer, Alaska, a scenic fifty-minute drive from downtown Anchorage. Our picturesque Colony farm, where we continue a unique domestication project begun sixty years ago, is home to a lively herd of sixty musk ox, from powerful bulls to frolicking calves.
Come observe, photograph and interact with these Ice Age animals at close range, as you learn from our guides and educational exhibits about their fascinating natural history, the domestication project, and how their fine underwool, called qiviut, is the basis of an Arctic native textile industry which provides an economic supplement to subsistence communities throughout Alaska.
