Large Animal Research Station

The Large Animal Research Station is a unique facility focused on the study of Alaska's native fauna, particularly reindeer and musk oxen. Established in the late 20th century, the station provides insight into these animals' biology and behavior through research and breeding programs, set against a backdrop of the Alaskan wilderness. Visitors can observe the animals up close and learn about their role in Alaska's ecosystem. It's best to plan your visit during the summer months for the most active viewing, while also taking note of the nearby University of Alaska Fairbanks, which offers additional educational opportunities and exhibits.
