Fairbanks is one of the world's best places to watch the aurora, because there are more than 243 days of the year when the aurora will appear. Since Fairbanks is only 310 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle and is surrounded by mountains, it can avoid bad weather and create good environmental conditions for aurora viewing. Therefore, many aurora hunters will gather here to enjoy it. Additionally, Fairbanks' low precipitation and distance from coastal areas contribute to consistently clear nights. All these combined variables make Fairbanks an outstanding destination for viewing the aurora borealis. There are also many newlyweds who choose this place as their honeymoon destination because of the ancient legend that "seeing the aurora will lead to happiness for a lifetime”. Our guides will take you to the best aurora viewing area to chase the aurora according to the weather conditions. They will introduce you to the aurora and instruct you in camera parameter set-up and aurora borealis shooting techniques to help you take stunning aurora photos.
-Hotel check in time is after 15:00.

【Museum of the North】 - The Museum of the North is located on the Fairbanks Campus of the University of Alaska. The whole body is white, and it blends with the surrounding snow in winter, which is chic and artistic. Dramatic architecture and new exhibit galleries make the museum an extraordinary destination. There are specimens of animals living around the Arctic Circle, as well as the lifestyle and status of the local aborigines. The most attractive are those exhibits that can be touched by hand, which will enrich your sensory experience and make your travel experience more memorable. In addition, our tour guide's vivid explanation of the exhibits will make your trip to the Museum of the North worthwhile.
* Closed on Thanksgiving, Xmas, and New Year.
【Santa Claus House】 - Walking on the streets of Arctic Village, it seems like walking in a fairy tale world. The street lights are all in the shape of red and white candy bars. The main street in the area is also called "Jingle Street", the name comes from the sound of the bells as Santa Claus passes by in his sleigh. The 16-meter-high giant Santa Claus statue, the 2-meter-high polar bear and elk, and many Christmas trees are all good choices for taking pictures. You can also send a postcard from the North Pole.
