Ride along with us on this adventure through some of the most remote areas in the Interior of the state. See what it takes to challenge this trail and why dogs have become such an important part of Alaska’s history. Zoom ahead to the Iditarod race. This race is in fact the present day celebration of the 1925 Serum Run. Go behind the scenes and get a real sense of what its all about. From start to finish you’ll slide, glide and fly down the trail with nine of your best furry friends, just you and them daring to challenge the elements.

Field Trip Packages: The Historical Experience & The Nature Experience These two packages offer the same activities, with only a difference in the film the students will see. The Historical Experience includes the film, “The Amazing Trail”, and students will see “Those Amazing Bears” if the Nature Experience is chosen. Both packages include an interactive Jeopardy-like game that quizzes students on Alaskan trivia, and the interactive activities in the lobby. If your class comes for the Historical Experience, they will spend a half an hour in a special-effects film which covers the history of the Iditarod, and the progression in to present day. If they are here for the Nature Experience, they will spend a half an hour in a more nature and facts-based, but still fun-loving film about the bears at McNeil River. The interactive game is set up for the students in the theater to test their knowledge of Alaska in an entertaining way. The rest of the field trip will be spent in our interactive lobby, learning about fish, dog sledding, and Alaska’s Geography. + Alaska Fun Facts This is a fun, interactive game that will have your class learning new things about the state they live in. It is set up in the theater in a “Jeopardy” style format. There are five different categories to choose from and questions in those categories all worth different a different amount of points. The students are put in groups and decide on an answer to the question in teams. They are given an answer pad to buzz in with. After the teams have made their decision, we will discuss the different answers that were given and why they were chosen. After the discussion, the correct answer is revealed and teams that were correct are given those points. This game has twenty five questions, and your class will have a blast while they learn something new! & In The Lobby: -Interactive Virtual Experiences!
