The Chena Hot Springs Resort is a destination that has something to offer everyone! From the Aurora Ice Museum, natural hot springs, a greenhouse to table restaurant, hiking trails, and pristine Northern Lights viewing opportunities, the Chena Hot Springs Resort is worth visiting for some serious rest, relaxation, and adventure in the Alaskan wilderness!

After a scenic drive from Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs Resort, your sightseeing tour will start off with a guided visit of the Aurora Ice Museum, the largest year-round ice environment in the world! Created with over 1,000 tons of ice and snow, the museum stays ice cold even in the summer, and includes all sorts of fabulous ice sculptures and even an ice bar where you can purchase an Appletini to drink in a glass made of ice! After the ice museum, the tour will head to the resort restaurant, offering ‘greenhouse’ to table fare straight from their own grounds as well as other Alaska grown produce, where you can order lunch. Then it is time to head out into the Springs!

The waters at Chena Hot Springs are full of natural minerals, such as magnesium and calcium, that are said to have therapeutic properties. The temperature of the water is a balmy 106 degrees F (41 degrees C), and is a real treat to ease sore muscles and warm up amidst the snow and ice, depending on the season! In addition to enjoying the hot springs, you will also have the option of exploring the many trails around the resort where you can enjoy Alaska’s natural beauty and even spot some local wildlife.

Between the end of August and beginning of April, there will even be the chance to witness the Aurora Borealis from the springs! The tour will head out in the late afternoon, and follow a similar itinerary as the day tour, but instead of lunch you will be able to enjoy a dinner instead. There is nothing better than sitting in a soothing natural hot spring while watching the Northern Lights dance overhead! As you are driven back to Fairbanks after the springs, you will continue to be mesmerised by the lights dancing above you in the night sky.
