Itinerary

Fairbanks – Chena Hot Springs Resort – Fairbanks (about 7-8 hours round trip)
Details: Depart from your hotel in the evening and travel to Chena Hot Springs Resort, famous for its century-old hot spring, interesting ice sculpture museum, and an advanced renewable energy project, making it one of the must-see attractions for almost every visitor to Fairbanks! You can relax in the outdoor natural hot springs, and when evening falls you can even watch the aurora while soaking in the springs. You’ll return to your hotel in Fairbanks around 2 am. While at the resort, you will also have the opportunity to visit the year-round ice sculpture museum (at additional expense), which exhibits the work of world-class ice sculpture champions, including tables, chairs, and so on all made of ice. Those interested can visit the ice bar to sample an Apple Martini in a cocktail glass made of ice (at additional expense, must show ID and be at least 21 years old).  
Notes:  
1) You must wear a bathing suit in the hot springs, please prepare in advance.

2) For safety reasons, minors under age 18 may not enter the outdoor natural rock pool, but they may use the indoor pool and the outdoor hot tub.
3) If you choose not to enter the hot springs for your own reasons, the fee is not refundable.

Tips:
**The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon whose appearance and visibility are dictated by weather and other natural conditions. Thus, there is no guarantee that you will see them.**
