Pioneer Park has several small attractions in one place - Nenana River Boat, Native American Art Museum, Rail Museum, Air museum, etc. Kids will also love this place. All this with no admission fee - it's very rare that something is free in Alaska. more

Found on the way back from downtown Fairbanks heading toward the airport. Lots of history and mini museums scattered about the grounds. The drydock ship is pretty cool with diaramas inside of the area towns back in the time of the gold rush. The miniature golf course is pretty worn down.
