Experience the magic of winter with Whirlwind Acres Sled & Show Dogs, a family-owned and operated tour company specializing in family-friendly mushing adventures. Standing out in the industry, they proudly guarantee completely private tours for every single booking, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience.

Whether you are looking for a gentle introduction to the sport or a fast-paced backcountry ride, this immersive attraction promises unforgettable memories for visitors of all ages.

Daytime Sled Rides: Guests can choose from a variety of distinct winter trail options. The Prairie Twist offers a wonderful, shorter loop perfect for an introduction to mushing. The Prairie Run extends the trail ride and rewards guests with a cozy campfire complete with hot chocolate and s’mores at the end. For thrill-seekers, the high-speed Prairie Explorer takes you on a lengthy trek across the windswept plains to feel the dogs running at maximum speed.

Nighttime Sled Tours: For a touch of stargazing magic, the evening tours are a must. The Star Gazer and Star Explorer packages allow you to glide peacefully under the wide-open sky, offering a perfect setting to watch the constellations and, with a bit of luck, the breathtaking Northern Lights, followed by a warm gathering around the campfire.

Spring, Summer, and Fall Fun: The excitement doesn’t stop when the snow melts! During the warmer months, weather permitting, Whirlwind Acres offers dynamic dryland cart rides so you can experience the power of these canine athletes without the winter cold. They also host guided kennel tours where visitors can meet the entire pack, play with the youngsters, and learn about the daily care and summer life of sled dogs.
