Recommendations for Fairbanks

We are in Fairbanks now, went on the Doscovery Steamer today, what a great tour. We thought it was an excellent value. We will be here through the weekend, and plan to go to the museum at the University of AK. Would love to hear about other activities in and around Fairbanks you have experienced. Any special fishing spots you would recommend, or restaurants. Also, has anyone gone to Pioneer Park, would you recommend that?

As always, thanks in advance for your help,
Susan

  • As others have mentioned, Chena Hot Springs is a neat place.

    Lavelle's (?) Bistro is a nicer restaurant.

    Pike's Landing is a cool place to grab a buffet weekend breakfast

    Chena Pump House is also a good casual spot.

    The UAF Museum is a great place to visit.
  • go stay off the grid on the road up to Chena Hot Springs find a place and settle in
  • Chena hot springs north of Fairbanks. There is an Ice hotel, greenhouse, swimming pools all run "off the grid" by steam.
