Added this experience on last-minute the day before we got off of our cruise ship and it turned out to be one of our family’s favorite stops! We learned a lot about the iditarod race / culture, were treated to a thrilling dogsled ride around the grounds, and snuggled with 1 month old puppies. It was a dream! The guys who led the tour were very knowledgeable and experienced. 100% recommend if you are in the area or just passing through Seward.

This excursion was amazing. The animals are very well cared for and the staff was super friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the pups and sport. You’re able to interact with all the dogs and watch them get hooked up to the trailer that you’ll be sitting on while getting pulled through the woods. You’ll see the dogs become super excited to get chosen to pull the trailer. It was a 10/10 experience.

SO much Fun! The dogs were sweet and energetic, we learned a lot about sledding that my young sons were actually able to tell others about several days later so you could tell they actually paid attention, the cart ride was faster than we expected and so much fun, and who doesn't love getting to cuddle PUPPIES!! Yes, our family had a fabulous time. :)
