Definitely a must visit stop in Fairbanks. A well laid out museum with great displays and terrific information. It’s one of those places you could visit several times to take it all in. We enjoyed it with the kids

We had some time.on our last day in Fairbanks and visited based on suggestions from our tour guide and locals. It was a good way to wrap up our visit to Alaska with history and art from the beautiful state. We spent a few hours going through the exhibits and that was plenty. The movies were extra so we didn't attend those.

Probably one of the most fascinating museums I’ve been to that specifically looks at a state and region’s history. If you’re a history buff, this is a great museum located in the heart of Alaska. Lots of great information on the people that lived in Alaska far before it was purchased by the US from Russia.

Let's start on the outside- when you first pull up the building looks like an art project (almost like it mimics mountains and glaciers), and the view of Fairbanks from the hill on which the musuem is placed. Breathtaking!
Once you get inside, it doesn't seem like a very large museum, but you will soon find out it is chock-full of of treasures and knowledge. It took almost 3 hours to go through! So make sure you plan on that!

A most interesting display of the history of Alaska. Lots of artworks on the second level. Lots to see. Expect to spend at least a couple hours there. Discounted admission for seniors, military and Alaska residents. Clean restrooms. Gift shop at the entry. Lots of parking.

Excellent place, a lot of good information. Staff is great. And the program that they have is excellent. The kids are so involved on what they doing and present the history in a motivated way. Culture and heritage to the next level.

I go here semi-frequently when we have out of town visitors. The museum has good attractions that show Alaska history as well as some modern exhibits. It is constantly being updated, so I see new things each time.

A must place to visit while in Fairbanks. Great view of the mountain ranges from the floor to ceiling glass wall. The museum highlights everything about Alaska. So, prior to exploring Fairbanks, I think this would be the best place to start. It houses some of the best Alaska wildlife taxidermy. What caught my eye and I considered impressive is the Salmon Skin Parka. Indigenous Haute Couture, indeed! Don't miss the room, which is "The Place Where You Go to Listen." A unique experience to listen to sound and silences of the North that is closely related to being in a meditation room.
