We came in October in hopes to see the Northern lights. Unfortunately it was too cloudy so that didn't happen. We drove around a lot to find things to do to but many things are seasonal and closed already. I'd like to come back and try again.

Nice city. Recommend the Golden Heart Plaza, Ice Museum, Morris Thompson Visitor Center, Beads and Things, Arctic Traveler Gift Shop, and highly recommend Arctic Night Tours for an even closer and amazing view of the Aurora Borealis.

Spend some time wandering, Fairbanks has so many hidden gems that you won't find with a guidebook. And try East Ramp Pizza, it looks dubious from the outside, but it's great!

Visitors must go to the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska. It was amazing and varied. Also go to the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. The fashions current at the time the automobiles were made, were displayed by the cars. Really fun an

We love the fact everything is covered by snow. We loved our dog sledding tour and Aurora light viewing too! A great place for vacation! Will come back in a different season just for the beautiful nature.

We wished we'd spent more time in Fairbanks and less in Anchorage which felt less welcoming. We took the train back to Anchorage rather than fly: 100% recommended. Chena was a good day visit but not huge and a bit tired due to visitor numbers.
"Westmark is a great choice. It has restaurant and bar open late and is good. Great coffee shop in lobby gift shop. We also ordered Door Dash and hotel allows to room delivery which helped! "
"Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. The place has many nice things to offer. It is a lovely and welcoming resort. I recommend it highly for a stay in Fairbanks. We would stay here again."
"Located on the north end of town, and easy to get to/from the airport, which is about 15 minutes away. Great staff, both knowledgeable and friendly. CLean and spacious rooms."
"It was great. The staff sent the shuttle even though our plane got in an hour later than expected after midnight. They offered extra comforter for the sofa bed. Everything was clean and comfortable. The gym was easy to do a workout in"
