Interesting little place, Bob was very nice, He gave us a map and recommended places to go while we were visiting Fairbanks

Great place to get all the information you need about Fairbanks in terms of an exhibit in the building or the information they actually give you. The staff are very welcoming and helpful with any information you need about Fairbanks.

Thank you so much Bob, also Naomi gave me information about driving to the Arctic Circle and the Dalton Highway you people are great

Tons of cool cultural facts, knowledge, and beautiful crafts from the native Athabascan people. I would highly recommend everyone to go here.

Everything you need in a visitor center. The Alaska Geographic store was packed full of fun gifts, the facilities were clean/ easy to navigate, the rangers were fun and helpful, and the explore Fairbanks staff were very kind. We purchased gifts, picked up our arctic circle certificates, and the new Fairbanks Junior Ranger book to complete while exploring the area. A great start to our Fairbanks, North Pole, and Arctic Circle adventures.

An excellent place to get a taste of the regions history. A perfect place to end a walk through downtown.

I would consider the Cultural and Visitors Center essential to your trip in Fairbanks!

Nice restrooms and common area to just warm up if it’s freezing outside. The staff is amazing. SHERRI in there knows her stuff. She helped us a lot to learn about the lights and checking the stats on them. She’s super knowledgeable of the area. Ask for her if you go, super friendly.

A warm haven when the temperature is below zero! We stopped in every day in Fairbanks to see the exhibits and watch all the videos. Plenty of helpful maps, flyers, and recommendations from the friendly staff. It was here we learned that the antique auto museum (highly recommended!) was only open Sunday & Wednesday while we were in town. Also a plus: theres a bus stop right out front, though it wasnt running on Sundays while we were in town.

What a fantastic place. So much to see and learn about, so much so, we went back again. Very friendly and helpful staff. Everything and more you could want to know about alaska culture and history.

We came here because there weren’t many other places to visit around Fairbanks in the winter months but we were absolutely delighted with our experience here. We learned much about the life in Alaska and the native culture during our short visit.I absolutely recommend this place as a must stop for anyone visiting Fairbanks.

Great place with fantastic people. They are very knowledgeable and can help you get the best out of your time here. Lots of pamphlet and brochures of tons to do. There is also a movie of life in Alaska and a mini walking display. This is right next to the antler arch which is a must see.

This is a must stop place to visit while you are in Fairbanks. Filled with great exhibits and so much information about the history and culture of Alaska. This place was so much more wonderful than we expected it to be. Plan to spend at least 2 hours here, but you could easily spend much more time exploring the exhibits and talking with the friendly staff.

Very helpful in finding best time for northern lights.

Excellent visitor center on all the northern part of Alaska, large parking, good home rangers, especially Magali (French like us), good documentation available, beautiful exhibitions, nice films: bravo and thank you

Here for the start of the Yukon quest. The museum is small but very well done.

We came in here quite by accident just to warm up after sitting outside in January to watch the start of the Yukon Quest. The exhibits were very well done and I’m so glad we stumbled on this place. Lots of cool displays and interesting facts. The gift shop was a bit overpriced but the center is a great introduction to Fairbanks and the state. Check it out!

Excellent history dedicated towards the Alaskan culture. Good for all ages and free of charge for the public. Found this very educational and a staff very friendly to assist you with any questions you may have. Museum, giftshop and clean restrooms. Location is ideal and next to Fred Myers and Wal-Mart. Parking lot is large enough for smaller motorhomes.

I only stopped by because I needed to use the bathroom after walking around Downtown haha. But Im glad I did! The exhibits inside were great! Especially on the Native Americans in the Fairbanks area. Great jumping point to explore the Alaskan interior! Dont miss a stroll along the nearby riverfront too.

Wonderful place. We had a lovely vibrant Athabascan lady guide. She made it tops

Informative and worth the quick visit.

Very nice visitor centre.Helpful friendly staff with lot of ideas where to go.I had chance to visit a cabin next to the visitor centre. Its really worth it to wait for it. Ranger who provides this tiny tour is great guy. Thank you for places like this.

Free and has much to offer tourists. The staff is very knowledgeable and there are 3 shelves full of recommendation on what to do in Fairbanks/Alaska. The antler Arch is right outside as well and there is a path along the river. Very interesting and full of fun facts.

Saw the start of the Yukon Quest dog sledding race. Just incredible! I didnt realize it was a bucket list item until I saw it. So glad I braved the -20 degree temps. It was worth it.

Free wonderful cultural museum with beautiful Athabascan dance presentation

The Park Rangers are so helpful! The movie on the Aurora Borealis is very interesting

Small little place with some historical information.Good thing about this one is that had all kinds of brochures for local stuff.

Incredible displays for free

The Morris is a great place to visit. They have Information on adventures and places to visit. It also has a museum. The Rangers that are there are always nice and very helpful with any questions you might have. If you want to venture out in the wilderness they have bear barrels you can borrow from them.

Nice warm and helpful staff

Great place cool items free movies

There is a very nice meusem as well as a local crafts shop where you can buy local art

My kids and I loved the amazing exhibits here. We were amazed with the amount of culture there is here. We recommend anyone wanting to learn about Alaska and the culture, to vis it here.

Very nice place. Lots of exhibitions about the history of Alaska.

Free museum worth visiting

Very informative place!

My favorite place to visit in Fairbanks!!!

Nice place to visit. Has lots of information about the history of Alaska and the pipeline. They also have a lot of resources about places to go around the are and Alaska in general. Free admission.

Very informative. Enjoyed the tour. Lots of brochures about all of Alaska.

Very informative with a lot of cool displays on the history and culture of Alaska and its natives, the Athabaskans. Amazing replica of the lifestyle of the Athabaskans. And its free so you cant beat that!

Stop by and grab your National Park pass here for Denali (free for military members!). They also have a lot of great information about tours, restaurants and lodging throughout Alaska. Very nice cultural exhibits also!

Beautiful nice museum

Nice place. I was hoping the movies would have been on a continuous loop.

Excellent display and great educational museum and staff

Fantastic place to bring friends and family to learn about Alaska! Information can be found from friendly staff. Topographic maps can be purchased here too. Souvenir shop is cool!

Great place to start for all visitors. Plethora of information and assistance.

This is a great place to get to know the natives and Fairbanks and Alaska a bit better!

Joe was very helpful with his hints and suggestions ... thank you, Joe.

I enjoyed this place, though the visitors museum was a bit smaller than I expected for as large as the building was. Animals in their habitat (stuffed), Aurora Borealis illustrations, and many other displays provide great insight into what you could expect. Its broken down by season, too!

Very informative, beautiful, no cost. Def worth going!

Smaller sized, but well done free museum about what it says .. Alaska culture, and some on the pipeline.

No matter if youre a visiting tourist or a long time resident of Fairbanks, I highly recommended visiting this place. Not only do they have a free museum that is full of interesting displays and artifacts, the staff is really friendly and they help you with planning excursions around the area. Ill admit I lived in Fairbanks for over 4 years before I realized there was an entire museum to explore. Bonus: there are several Poke Stops around the exterior on interior of the building.

Awesome

Very detailed explanations, helpful staff, overall worth it!

So much fun!

What a nice place for information on Fairbanks. Its got a cute little museum as well. Its all free as well.

Clean, modern museum/tourist stop with no cost for most activities. Fun stop for children and adults. Rotating schedule of different movies about Alaska throughout the day.

The Kids where knowledgeable, great dancers, excellent performance.

Great stop to learn what is available in Fairbanks and to see exhibits about life in Interior Alaska. Athabaskan hand made arts & crafts are available in the cultural room but theyre a little hard to find. Ask for Dixie Alexander and theyll know where to send you. The Alaska Geographic store isnt open much in the winter but its also a great shop.

While in Fairbanks, Alaska we visited this center. It was very informative and interesting. They had a lot of information on the different tribes of Alaska. Really enjoyed it and it was free.

Interesting place. The little native shop inside was amazing!

Accessible and friendly way to learn about Alaskas history from all angles - natives, nature, culture. And its free, too! Absolutely worth a stop.

If you are lost on what to do in Fairbanks, you should come to this place. They helped us in which activities to chose and even with which restaurants to go. They have a museum where you can understand how people live in such extreme weather conditions and a small souvenir store with local handicrafts.

A very nice information and cultural center. The people were very helpful and the center in itself looks very interesting.

One of the best visitor centers I visited
