Operated by: Heart of Alaska Tours 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). 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. Includes: Transportation, Ice Museum admission, Hot Springs pool pass Optional Add-ons: Appletini, Towel rental We highly discourage the restaurant due to possible long service times, especially during busy periods. We have snacks and water in the van. The activity center also sells quick snacks, drinks, and light food items.
