chill out INSIDE

When it comes time to warm up, don’t worry, there is still plenty happening indoors to keep you engaged. Exciting indoor activities take place throughout the winter months, including cultural programs, performance arts and sporting events. Browse local galleries and shops for authentic Alaska Native and madein-Alaska gifts created by Fairbanks artisans. Museums tell fascinating stories of our pioneer past, antique automobiles and aviation history, the raucous pipeline days and thousands of years of cultural heritage and natural history.

Fairbanks loves food and variety is the spice of life. We have the flair and flavor you crave with Mediterranean, Korean, award-winning BBQ, sourdough bakeries and so much more. Loads of restaurants, winterized food trucks and coffee huts can be found all around town, not to mention 20+ Thai food eateries! But fear not, if it’s classic Alaskan fair you’re looking for, salmon, king crab and reindeer sausage are easy to find. Local breweries craft great beer and distilleries here use produce harvested in Alaska to create their fine spirits. Sample these on-site or at many restaurants, bars and tap houses in the area.
