Itinerary

Tour Duration: 14:00-17:30 3.5 hours
Pick-up locations and Times: 13:30-14:20 pick up from hotels in downtown Fairbanks. Please refer to the latest pre-tour notice for the specific time.
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.
* In winter, the Santa Claus hut in Arctic Village is only open at a fixed time. If the Santa Claus hut is closed, you will visit the North Pole.
