Depart from your designated hotel in the evening for a trip to Chena Hot Springs (included in the hot springs fee) . Renowned for its magical healing springs, dazzling Northern Lights, cutting-edge renewable energy projects, and ice sculpture museum, this destination is a must-see for almost every visitor to Alaska! Relax in the outdoor, natural mineral spring pools. As night falls, you'll have the opportunity to soak while watching the aurora borealis, a unique experience. Enjoy the breathtaking spectacle of the Northern Lights, glimpsed through the misty waters. Arrive back in Fairbanks the following morning. At the resort, you'll also have the opportunity to visit the world's only year-round ice sculpture museum (entrance fee not included). Constructed from 1,000 tons of ice, it showcases the meticulously crafted works of world-class ice sculpture champions over the years, including tables, chairs, and utensils crafted entirely from ice. Enjoy an Apple Martini in a beautifully carved ice glass at the ice bar (at your own expense; age 21 or older with valid ID required).
