What you can expect

Step into Alaska’s legendary dog mushing world on this 1.5-hour visit to a competitive Iditarod kennel, just about a 20-minute drive north of city centre Anchorage. Get up close with champion sleigh dogs and learn what it takes to care for, train, and work with a high-performance team in Alaska’s changing seasons.

Your visit begins at the kennel where you’ll meet the dogs and discover their daily routine—from training and feeding to how mushers keep teams healthy, motivated, and ready for long-distance racing. This is a hands-on, family-friendly experience designed for independent travellers, families with kids, and small groups alike.

After meeting the dogs, settle into a warm, heated yurt for an engaging lifestyle talk and Q&A. Hear real trail stories and insights from former Iditarod racers, learn how races are run, what conditions are like out on the trail, and what makes Alaska’s mushing culture so unique.

Located conveniently on the way towards Denali, Talkeetna, the Matanuska Glacier, and destinations north of Anchorage, this tour is an easy add-on to a travel day. Leave with memorable photos, a deeper understanding of the sport, and a new appreciation for the incredible canine athletes that define Alaska adventure.
