Musk Ox Farm

All about musk oxen 100 Farm Loop Road
Anchorage, AK 99645
United States
+1 907 745 4151
http://www.muskoxfarm.org/ Since 1954, this non-profit organization has been dedicated to educating people about the musk ox and qiviut (pronounced kivy-oot), which is the musk oxen's soft under-hair. Volunteers such as Alex Trebek ("Jeopardy) and Olivia Newton John, helped the musk oxen here receive national recognition. One of the Arctic's oldest species, their history of use by Alaska Natives is long. Now, native knitters work together to create qiviut garments for sale. An onsite gift shop and the downtown Oomingmak Anchorage shop sell qiviut gifts.

Gentle and tame, these "deer" are accustomed to visitors and are very friendly. Also available for visiting is a moose named Cathy and a blacktail deer named Feline. Don't forget to say hello to Eddy, a Rocky Mountain Elk. Call for tour prices.
