I went here on a Saturday afternoon on an RV trip in Alaska. My family and I paid $10/person to ride around the trail on a cart pulled by sled dogs. I think $10 is a little steep, but it was a pretty cool experience. I'm also a big dog person, so I'm going to seem a little biased. I was also able to hold some sled dog puppies - no fee, no hassle, they let me just pick them up and snuggle with them! The museum part was fantastic as well - they had tons of pictures and clippings from past races. Cute gift shop where I got a book about the first Iditarod race. They also play a movie about the race's dogs, which is really informative and interesting to watch.

I would absolutely stop by!
