Nicely situated downtown. A visitor center but so much more. Great displays on local culture and the history of Fairbanks. Rotating 30minute videos are excellent and we found ourselves going back to catch ones we missed.

We had an unplanned visit to the visitors center. We lucked out! This is hands down one of the nicest, most interesting visitors center we have ever been in! Lots of information. Friendly staff willing to answer any questions. Lovely and educational displays. A very decently priced gift shop. Don’t miss this.

Found this was a worthwhile place to stop for acquiring area information. Helpful attendants at all stations and pamphlets galore. Good & informative museum displays throughout building. Good acclimation stop.

Don't miss this place! We were beyond impressed with the quality of the exhibits (kudos to the curator!!!) and the overall flow of it all. The information provided by the staff was incredible. This was one of the most amazing places in our entire Alaska trip! And it is FREE!!! Be sure to go outside to the antler arch too - very cool! And then you can just walk a few more steps and be on the riverfront trail.

This conveniently located museum (right downtown, along the river walk), is a "must see". The exhibits are well done, spanning Indigenous culture, early miners/settlers, and current lifestyles. And there is a ton of information available from the Visitor Center staff about other attractions and natural wonders in Central Alaska.

We were a bit jet lagged and new to Fairbanks, so we thought we should get up on our hind legs and do something. Little did we know that the cultural center would jar us awake with an absolutely fascinating recreation of what life was like in the region. It vividly made real how resourceful the different inhabitants were and are to survive in this challenging climate. Plan on taking your time, for there is a great deal to absorb.

This is a nice stop. Good museum about native history of the area. They also have a helpful national park ranger to talk about the area as well as a Fairbanks Visitors Center staffed area. Stop in and look around if you are in the area. It's free and full of information.
