Just booked the Golden Heart Tour! What should I expect?

I just booked the Golden Heart Tour in Fairbanks for next month! I’m really excited about the gold panning and seeing the musk ox at the Large Animal Research Station. Is it really as fun as it sounds? What should I wear for this tour? Any tips from those who've already done it?

Thoughts on the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum?

I’m considering gifting this tour to my dad for his birthday, especially because he loves vintage cars. How's the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum? Is it worth the trip? Any favorites from the tour that you guys loved?
