What To Expect

Join us for a scenic drive through the beautiful Alaskan wilderness on a journey to the world-famous Chena Hot Springs, located just over 60 miles from Fairbanks. Along the way, keep your eyes open for local wildlife—moose, foxes, and even the occasional bear may be spotted!

Upon arrival, we begin with a visit to the Aurora Ice Museum—a stunning year-round ice structure built entirely from over 1,000 tons of ice and snow. Inside, you’ll have the option to sip an Apple-tini served in a hand-carved ice glass at the ice bar (optional add-on).

Next, if you chose to add dinner, take time to dine at the on-site Chena Hot Springs Restaurant, known for its cozy Alaskan charm and hearty meals.

Then, end your evening with the ultimate highlight: a relaxing soak in the natural geothermal rock pool under Alaska’s famous midnight sun. The mineral-rich waters are renowned for their soothing and healing properties—a perfect way to unwind before the scenic drive back to Fairbanks.
