Wonderful experience! - This was an amazing experience for our family of 5! We got to meet the dogs and learn a little about dog sledding, its history, and the Iditarod. Then, we rode on a wheeled cart pulled by the sled dogs. Afterwards, we learned a little more about the actual sleds and how the dogs are taken care of on the trail. Finally, we got to meet some of the newly born sled dog puppies and hold and play with the slightly older ones! This was a fantastic experience, we learned a lot and had so much fun! Definitely an experience to remember!

Meet experienced racers and their very good dogs! - The tour was amazing! Dane and Kaci, both Iditarod finishers, took us on wheeled-cart rides with some very good dogs. We learned a ton about sled dog racing and their experiences in the Iditarod, and we got to hold two sets of puppies under the watchful eyes of their moms. We even had a guest appearance by Matthew Failor himself after the guides kindly passed on my Iditarod-obsessed son's request. The one-on-one attention we got here was excellent and it's clear the whole team is committed to making your experience the best it can be.

The best example of True Alasken Mushers! - This was an amazing experience! I took my friend form out of town during her most recent trip. I knew I wanted something truly Alasken to show her, and this checked all my boxes and more! Matt, his family, and all of his guides were SO incredibly kind and knowledgeable! I've done experiences like this in the past, but this was the first time every musher on the property had race the Iditarod! It was amazing to hear their experiences on the 1000 mile race! You can really tell how much everyone cares about these dogs, how they take care of them, know all 50+ by names and personality and what they need to be successful doggie athletes!

Alaskan Husky Adventures is the BEST! - Alaskan Husky Adventures was one of the two best things my granddaughter and I did while in Alaska. The staff provided us with their expertise on the Huskys, the sleds used during Iditarod races, the endurance of the mushers and dogs as well as an awesome sled ride! It was an awesome experience that was well worth every dollar. And, we got to interact with the dogs and with some 4-week old puppies! Highly recommend this adventure--well run, a happy time!

A must do activity - This is one of my favorite places to visit in Alaska. It is fascinating to learn about the Alaskan Huskies and their role in the legacy of Alaska, including in the Iditarod and other races.

Amazing authentic family fun - Liz was amazing helping me through planning for my family of 4 children, 7 grandchildren and myself. She is the true meaning of amazing customer service not to mention very friendly. Matthews vast experience and friendly team provided an authentic fun and educational experience for all. We had such a great experience my grandchildren did not want to leave. As a matter of fact my youngest granddaughter asked if we could go back the next day.

Great for kids and dog lovers! - We loved our time at the Kennel! My son (3) loved meeting all the dogs and the handlers were great at letting us know what dogs wouldn’t jump or be too excited and possibly knock him over. You can tell the dogs are taken such good care of, and are loved by everyone. The trail ride was super cool and amazing to see these dogs in action! Once we were back, we learned all about the Iditarod and what it takes to have a dog sled team. The highlight of our trip was they had some puppies to cuddle. Definitely a must stop if you love dogs or have a dog loving kiddo.
