It was cool to see the dogs. They were different than we expected. The demonstration on the equipment was fun and informative.
There was a little confusion regarding pick up, but once that was worked out it was a great experience. Especially if you like dogs and the outdoors. The tour was conducted by young individuals who truly have a passion for what they do. The puppies were so cute and the sled ride was interesting. Overall it was very informative and a great way to spend the morning.
Very knowledgeable crew informed us all about their operation, the dogs, the Iditarod and answered all of our questions. The kids wouldve preferred a bit more time with the puppies. Really enjoyed hearing about the sled and other equipment.
This was a fun learning experience for the whole family. The dogs were awesome and the staff shared a lot of great information about the Iditarod and dog sledding in general.
If you are thinking about this tour do it!! It was incredible! We got to be apart of training the alaskan huskies for the Iditarod race. Its a working kennel with guides who have raced in them!!! Highly recommend
Pick up was a bit hectic, but worked out. We made it in time. The dogs were and staff there were great!
We went to Turning heads during our stay in Seward. We were picked up from our hotel on time. The kennel tour was properly planned with enough time with dogs, puppies and learning about the Iditarod trail race. Our favorite part was puppies and the sled ride. Our musher knew each dog and took time to introduce us to the dogs. It was a wonderful experience.
Incredible experience. Dogs were friendly and well taken care of. Guides were knowledgeable and great with kids.
We had a great time at Turning Heads kennel. We learned a lot about the breeding, training, and care that goes into these beautiful dogs/athletes. And the puppies!! We got to snuggle with a few puppies and our hearts melted!
Was fun and exciting. We learned a lot about the dogs and mushing. They take very good care of their dogs. Hunter made a video on our phones of each dog and their names on our phones. It was a highlight of our vacation. If ever back in Seward, we would do this again.
