Summer Hot Springs Soak & Ice Museum Adventure
Escape the ordinary and experience one of Alaska’s most unique summer adventures! Our Chena Hot Springs & Ice Museum Tour takes you on a scenic drive through the Alaskan wilderness, just over 60 miles from Fairbanks, where wildlife sightings—like moose, foxes, and eagles—are always a possibility.
First, we’ll visit the world-renowned Aurora Ice Museum, a stunning year-round structure built entirely from over 1,000 tons of ice and snow. Step inside this frozen masterpiece to explore hand-carved ice sculptures, an icy chapel, and even sip an appletini at the ice bar (optional, age 21+).
Then, it’s time to unwind with a relaxing soak in the natural rock-lined hot springs pool—open-air and surrounded by peaceful Alaskan forest. The warm, mineral-rich waters are perfect for easing sore muscles and recharging your spirit after a day of travel and exploration.
This is the perfect half-day escape to connect with nature, experience one-of-a-kind Arctic art, and soak in the magic of Alaska’s endless summer daylight.
