Dog Sledding – Family Tour

Dog Sledding for the Whole Family 

This tour is designed for young mushers and their families. Preschool to elementary-age children under 12, parents and grandparents will love this hands-on experience.

After a large group welcome and a sled dog safety talk, take a tour of the kennel and meet many of our 55 friendly Alaskan husky sled dogs. They can’t wait to get to know you. Learn about mushing equipment, how to ride in the sled as a passenger, and how to drive the sled. You can even help harness and hook up your dog team!

We then hit the trail; a half-mile beginner-friendly loop near the kennel, where you take turns riding in the sled. Children and adults can even hop up on the runners and try driving the team if the conditions allow. You’ll have fantastic photo opportunities and great family memories.

Once you return to the kennel, help give the dogs treats and water, and bring them back to their houses. The dogs love meeting children, so make sure to plan a few minutes after the tour to meet and pet some of the other dogs in the kennel!
