Great to see the pipeline but there was no actual visitor's center at the location - maybe we were too early and they bring out a mobile center or something. Signage was good, displays were educational. More

This is the best place in town to see the great Alaska Pipeline. There's not much of a visitor center, so your visit won't last very long. But it's still worth the trip out there to say that you've seen the pipeline. More

Even though the building it is not open in the winter, the signs and displays outside were very interesting and give insight into a little piece of history. Beautiful when everything is covered in snow. Great place to park and watch for the Northern Lights at night. More

We didn't stay long as it was a chilly day, but it was a good place to see the pipeline that caused so much controversy and put Alaska on the map! More

Signs guide you through the pipeline history and process. Not much else is worth stopping for except to say", I went there." and take a few pics. I spent about 15 minutes total and kept going. More

Located just off of the highway a few miles north of Fairbanks, the Pipeline Visitor Center is a nice stop! I have only been here in the winter, when the Center itself was closed, but it is still on my list of places to take visitors! You can explore and take pictures for about 30 minutes. There are displays and... More
