Review of Fairbanks’ Chena Hot Springs and Ice Museum tour, with geothermal education, pool time, transport tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.

Review of Fairbanks’ Fire & Ice tour, with Chena Hot Springs, Ice Museum, optional dinner, private transport, and Northern Lights viewing.

I would also say the people in our group wasn’t very interested in aurora viewing. That probably added to the experience.…”
