Soak in mineral-rich hot springs & visit the year-round ice museum
"For a relaxing dip, the Chena Hot Springs Resort in Fairbanks, Alaska offers a natural hot spring-fed lake that stays around 106 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. There's a reason this spot ranks among the best hot springs in the U.S. — the outdoor setting, which sometimes offers views of the aurora borealis, makes for an ultra-romantic getaway, though you don't need to stay overnight at the hotel to visit. Once you've gone for a swim, visit the resort's Aurora Ice Museum. Billed as "the world's largest year-round ice environment," it features everything from rooms and sculptures to an ice bar crafted from more than 1,000 tons of ice and snow." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Located under the aurora oval, Fairbanks offers clear winter nights for excellent aurora viewing."
"A remote Alaska outpost about 60 miles from Fairbanks where geothermal waters rich in sulfate, chloride, and sodium bicarbonate are paired with eco-friendly operations and year-round attractions. Accommodations include a 40-room lodge, standard rooms, family suites, rustic cabins, camping, and yurts; the property is employee-owned and uses geothermal energy for heat and power. Visitors come for the chance to soak while viewing the aurora borealis, explore the year-round Aurora Ice Museum, enjoy on-site dining and massage services, and sign up for northern-lights tours, dogsled rides, horseback riding, and other winter- and summer-season activities." - Michelle Baran
