Fairbanks is one of the best places to see the northern lights. The northern lights are best seen between September and Mid-April on cold clear nights.
Located in the northern part of town off of College Road, Creamer's Field Wildlife Refuge is a former dairy farm that is now a migratory stopover point for countless numbers of Canada geese, sandhill cranes, ducks, and other bird species. Numerous trails lead through the refuge and there is a visitor center located within the old farmhouse.
An excellent collection of exhibits about the nature, history and cultures of Alaska; the displays on the Northern Lights are particularly tripy.

Self-guided or group tours.
Museum of the history of Fairbanks and dog mushing in Alaska.
This is completely separate from Aurora Ice Museum by the hot springs.
The plaza is a celebration of the silver anniversary of Alaska’s statehood and is arguably the center of the city. There is a clock/carillon tower in this park too.
