Admission Ticket Included

Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center

The Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor Center is located on the banks of the Chena River in downtown Fairbanks. Named after an Alaska native and political leader, this community center celebrates native Alaskan culture and natural history through interesting exhibits, indigenous art and tools and life-sized panoramas depicting Alaska’s wildlife and landscapes throughout the seasons.

Santa Claus House

You can't visit North Pole and miss "the man" himself. Real reindeer and an incredible assortment of Christmas goodies and gifts, along with fudge, cookies and ice cream.

Pioneer Park

This stop is optional and will depend on season and available time. Pioneer Park is a 44-acre (109-hectare) park located along the Chena River that was opened in 1967 to celebrate the centennial of the Alaska Purchase. This park features many museums and attractions that commemorate early Alaskan history, such as Gold Rush Town, comprised of 35 restored buildings from the Gold Rush era; the SS Nenana, the world's second-longest wooden-hulled ship that carried passengers and cargo along the Chena River in the mid 1900s; and the Tanana Valley Railroad Museum, featuring the oldest working steam locomotive in Alaska. After this fascinating Alaskan cultural and historical experience, you’ll be taken back to your hotel. Please keep in mind that some attractions are only open seasonal and adjustments can be made.

The tour stops were very interesting. The driver had no narrative to add to the experience. He was a nice conversationalist, but had very little informative tidbits to share. Folks in the back of the van could not hear him speaking. No microphone. You might consider seeing these places on your own.
