Fairbanks Summer Hotspots & Hidden Gems

Fairbanks is heating up this summer with cool new attractions downtown — the Morris Thompson Cultural Center boasts a bush plane hanging from the ceiling and seasonal life-size displays, letting you experience Alaska’s winter without freezing. Cruise the Chena River on kayaks or bikes, stroll past the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, and check out the Museum of the North’s jaw-dropping whale skeleton and new planetarium, promising guaranteed northern lights views year-round. Sip local brews at HooDoo Brewing or McCafferty’s coffee, while downtown buzzes with construction — the old Polaris Building’s gone, the Starter Block’s rising, and Pike’s Landing’s back open with “Love Alaska” rooms and reindeer enclosures. And get ready: the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum is relocating near the airport, merging classic cars with vintage planes — over 140 pre-WWII cars coming together for a one-of-a-kind drive.
