Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Aurora sled dog experience? I'm not used to the cold.

A: You'll want to layer up for this one! They provide extra winter outerwear and boots, which is super helpful. But I still recommend wearing thermal layers underneath, plus a good hat and gloves. It's cold in Fairbanks, especially at night when you'll be out looking for the Auroras. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later!

Q: Can I reschedule if the weather doesn't cooperate? I'm planning this for a friend's birthday.

A: Yes, absolutely! If the weather isn't ideal for viewing the Auroras, Wandering Alaska LLC is pretty flexible with rescheduling. Just make sure to contact them as soon as you know you need to change plans. They'll work with you to find a new date that works for everyone.

Q: Is this experience suitable for kids? My niece is 10 and I've been thinking about gifting this.

A: Yes, kids are totally welcome! The sled dogs are friendly and the whole experience is really family-friendly. Plus, the heated gathering space is a great spot for everyone to warm up. Just make sure your niece is dressed warmly enough for the cold. It'll be a memorable experience for her!

Thinking of gifting the Aurora sled dog experience - thoughts?

Hey everyone! I’m looking at getting the Aurora Activity at Sluice Box Sled Dogs for my brother’s birthday. I’ve heard you can learn all about the Auroras while enjoying some hot cocoa! Plus, I love that they take care of transportation from Fairbanks. I’m just a bit nervous about the cold and what to wear. Anyone have tips?

Anyone done the sled dog experience recently?

I’m curious about the Aurora Activity at Sluice Box Sled Dogs. I saw that they have a heated outhouse and a gathering space, thank goodness! I’m planning to go later this month, but I’m worried about the weather. How was your experience with the Auroras? Did you see them?
