If you can’t make a trip to the Arctic for a little wildlife observation, consider visiting this research station that tends herds of musk oxen, reindeer and caribou. The station studies the animals’ unique adaptations to a sub-Arctic climate, and viewing areas outside the fenced pastures allow a free look at the herds any time. To see the facility itself, you must partake in a 45-minute guided walk.
To reach the station, head north from the university campus on Farmers Loop Rd, bear left onto Ballaine Rd and then turn left again on Yankovich Rd. The center is 1.2 miles up on the right.
