Everybody I've spoken to and anything I read about Fairbanks said that the museum was a major highlight...I personally found it quite small and disengaging, although I think if you watch one of the movies (IMAX?) available, you'll have a better experience. I had also already been to the native heritage museum in Barrow, AK which had similar information and relics/displays on native culture and wildlife etc.

Top University of Alaska-Fairbanks Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Pioneer Park Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Was excited about the large room, great breakfast options and a nice indoor pool. We didn't use the pool this time, but hope to in the future! Staff was friendly and helpful."

Pike's Waterfront Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was truly wonderful! The staff was warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We absolutely loved how the hotel embraced Alaskan history throughout the decor, rooms, and overall atmosphere, with stories of legendary individuals who made history in Alaska on doorways of the rooms. It felt authentic and deeply meaningful, especially as Alaskans ourselves. The little touches made the experience even more special: the $1.50 ice cream bars in the evening were a delightful treat, and the bar and lounge area was incredibly inviting, with cozy seating, a welcoming fireplace, and a nice selection of games. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing evening nightcap. We love that one of our favorite restaurants, Pike's Landing is right next door - great food and service! Our room even included a balcony, which we greatly appreciated, even if the -20°F temperatures kept us happily indoors! As locals visiting family in Fairbanks, we were so pleased that the hotel felt genuine and not overly tourist-oriented. It struck just the right balance. We’ll most certainly be returning on our next trip, thank you for a memorable stay! "

"the room where you go to listen". When you first go inside, it seems to e just a small white room with a single bench and colored panels. What's unique and really cool about this room though is that it's hooked up to computers and sensors that monitor and react to outside environmental stimulus! The colors on the panel change to reflect the cycles of the sun and the moon. Atmospheric music plays us a map of the things that are happening all around us tht we can't see. Auroral activity obscured by daylight rings out as bells. Imperceptible tremors and earthquakes have the room emitting low rumbles. It's amazing how noisy this world is!
