Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

So much to see and learn at the Native Center. Reception desk will provide the schedule for the day. Admission $24.95 Adults. Straight ahead is the Gathering Place where you can watch Native Dance and Game demonstrations.Very entertaining and learned about each of the 5 culture groups in Alaska. Be sure to take the guided tour through the different villages on site and learn about their cultures. Guided village site tours are at 10:15, 12:15, 2:00 and 3:30. Theater offers introductory film. Heritage Nanvaq Café on site has breakfast and lunch items. This was one of our most memorable attractions in Alaska. Heritage Center, Wild life conservation, Railroad and flying to Denali were all worth the time and cost. Thank you!

I have been blessed to take courses from the UAF and being on campus in the winter is perfectly good. The walk paths are visible and groomed especially in the winter. The dorms are warm and the food is great. UAF has the local home charm of Alaska.

Thousands of visitors each year get a chance to see muskoxen, caribou and domestic reindeer on summer tours of this 134-acre site set up for nutritional, behavioral and physiological study by the University of Alaska.

Oh my, if you are an ardent animal lover, and interested in learning more about the musk ox and reindeer, this is not to be missed. We had a group tour (maximum of 10 in the group) which was both informative and fun. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and afforded us all the time we wanted while viewing and learning about the animals and the ongoing research at this station. The baby musk oxen (1 year olds) are the absolute cutest and getting to see them was a wonderful experience. Thank you for providing these tours.
