   Fairbanks Tourist Information  

Surrounded by sub-arctic wilderness, Fairbanks is Alaska's second largest city. Located just 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle, the sun barely dips below the horizon in the summertime and barely shows itself at all during the winter. The long hours of darkness of winter make it a premier place to view the aurora borealis or northern lights phenomenon in which amazing displays of light are produced in the sky by particles of solar wind. The Chena River State Recreation area is popular for outdoor sports all year round.  You can also relax in the natural Chena Hot Springs or hit the mind-blowing Aurora Ice Museum, for a unique experience. You may also enjoy a weekend trip to the world-famous Denali National Park, exploring the Alaskan wildlife.
