Food scene

This is a trendy place downtown. It has a fun atmosphere yet still feels elegant enough for a date. It’s not for the budget-conscious traveler but is worth the splurge in my opinion. I haven’t had a bad meal here yet!

A national historic site, during summer it has indoor/outdoor dining on a deck over the Tanana River. My favorites are the Black and Blue salad, or the deep fried zucchini sticks as an appetizer. This is just down the road from your accommodations.

This is our go-to place anytime we are hungry. My husband loves prime rib, and there really isn’t anyone in town who does it better or more consistent than the Turtle Club. It is more of a rustic setting, but we often share one of the larger cuts of meat, get an extra salad on the side and don’t feel like we broke the bank when we leave. I always enjoy the short scenic drive out of town to get there, as well.

Fresh made bread, pastry and desserts, Kaladi Bro’s coffee (roasted in Alaska). If you like smoked salmon, try their smoked salmon cream cheese dip on a fresh slice of bread… Can’t be beat! This is just down the road from the hangar/apartment…

Sightseeing

If you are in the Fairbanks area, you must go to Chena Hotsprings atleast once, especially in the winter! And don’t forget to check out the restaurant as well—on-site, fresh-grown salad year-round, and their clam chowder is delicious.

Off the beaten path...This is one of Fairbanks area’s best-kept secrets...we lived here 12 years before we heard of it! Less than 1 mile hike off the road, we snowmobiled in with our small children but it is very hike/ski friendly, depending on the weather. If you do not have experience with glaciers or venturing off the beaten path, do not attempt this experience without a guide

We hike this atleast once every year. It is the hike with the best views in the Fairbanks area, relatively short.

Sled dog tours and reindeer! I have never been here personally but this place comes highly recommend from a friend. Fairly close to the hangar apartment Located in Ester. From the website: Want to hang out with the sled dogs and reindeer? Come out and meet the crew! Learn about our furry family! Everyone loves pets and treats. Lots of photo oppoutunities. Summer means shedding and mud! Winter means cold and snow! Dress appropriately! Be prepared for the dogs to wash your face and ears :) Kids ride free of charge with adults. We can accommodate most any age and physical ability, just let us know what you need if you require anything special.
