10 Things to do Good for Couples in Fairbanks That You Shouldn't Miss

October 17, 2021 Leonardo Torrence

Its far north location means Fairbanks gets the midnight sun in the summer and the northern lights during Aurora Season (August to April). These wonders define the city, along with winter activities, the gold rush past, Alaska Native heritage, a vibrant arts scene and “golden heart” hospitality. Enjoy dog mushing, panning for gold, floating the Chena River or visiting a museum. Add a nearby trip to a hot springs, Denali, the Arctic or the Interior. Fairbanks is the gateway to discovering Alaska.

My husband and I visited and while we first thought it was a fairly small place we were very much surprised! We loved looking at the beautiful cars and as a bonus the fashion display was just as beautiful! We spent nearly three hours in the museum and the curator was there to answer any questions or further the knowledge on any of the cars! Would definitely recommend:)
