I’m watching this because I’m home sick. I was raised in fairbanks, we’re in the lower 48s now because we thought we were missing out on certain aspects in life that fairbanks doesn’t give, but man we had it so made in fairbanks. We’re going home this summer and I just cannot wait.

It feels like going home. I was born there, but now live in the northwest Washington. Our children were born there and took two of them back when they were teenagers. There only complaint was no one shut the lights off so they could sleep. And they didn't like the state bird.

Not one mention of Thai food?? You need to go back ASAP, for that purpose alone. It seems ridiculous (because it is) but the Thai scene in Fairbanks is honestly in a league of its own. In a town of that small size/population, the ratio of slamming Thai restaurants is remarkable and on par with any city in the US

I was born and raised in Fairbanks and I still live here 74 years later. This is a fairly quick tour and hits some good highlights of the area. Like many visitors to Alaska, this traveler mispronounced two words. Many words or place names in Alaska are native words and even I have trouble with some of them. The first word is "Nenana" as in The River Boat Nenana. Nenana is pronounced Knee-nan-nuh. The second word is, Chena, as in Chena Hot Springs. The "e" in Chena is a long "e."

Chena Hot springs. Is pronounced “CHEE-NAH”. Go around Thanksgiving. Seethe Aurora Borealis. Swim in the hot lake outside and get a “Custom Ice Helmet.” Also your Apple mixed drink ice glass will “keep” as long as you keep it on your outside patio. When my family and I went the high was minus 20 and the low was minus 39.

Thank you for the video and memories. We were stationed at Eielson AFB in the early 2000s. We still miss Fairbanks and North Pole. Fun fact we were told about the name of North Pole, it was given that name to get toy companies to move there so that toys for Christmas would say from the North Pole. Not sure if it is really true, but I like to think so. Also, the Wendys at North Pole was on the Food Network for playing Christmas music and decorated for Christmas year round.

On one of our three Alaskan visits, we drove to Fairbanks, from Denali Park, in 1999 & enjoyed it very much! Even though it's a fairly small city, it's well worth the drive from Anchorage, to make the few hundred miles, circular tour, past North Pole, AK, the pipeline & down to Valdez! Just remember to bring emergency equipment, if you break down! It gets really desolate in parts!

Good job buddy.... A few more - Hilltop Cafe located about 20 minutes north of Fairbanks and about 8 minutes north of the Fox "Y" on the Elliot Highway (stay left & head towards Livengood). Hilltop Truck stop has GOOD food, EXCELLENT burgers and THE BEST HOME MADE PIES. A nice scenic viewpoint and wonderful location to watch Aurora is Clearly Summit. Head north and and take the right "Y" at Fox (head towards Circle). About 20 minute drive to the peak which has plenty of parking. Look north and see the White Mountains in Circle. While driving towards Cleary, stop at the Pedro Monument and learn about the history of the original Gold Discovery - Felix Pedro. If you have a spare day, drive north towards Circle (right at the Fox "Y") and stop at 12 mile summit Trailhead for a superb hiking adventure in the higher elevation alpine tundra. Caribou are usually around. Pack a lunch. The road is paved sans short 4 miles of the trailhead. Be sure to stop at any of the Davidson Ditch pullouts (I recommend Nome creek) for some Fairbanks Gold Mining History. More here in Fairbanks than meets the eye...

If you're into history and nature, my recommendation is to check out Creamers Field. Once upon a time, it was called Creamers Dairy, cause that was where we got our milk. But now it's a BEAUTIFUL hiking trail and a great place to see various species of birds, geese, ducks and cranes. I have a few other places I would recommend visiting while here. Downtown is cute, it has a few landmarks that show the flooding of 67. The Knotty Shop has the best ice cream in the state. We also have a cultural center that's nice to visit.

The flood of 67 was pretty epic. I landed at the airport in the middle of that event. I was still a teenager. fortunately we had friends that lived in that area who were evacuated to the airport. So I got to spend three days there waiting for the water to fall enough so I get across the river to CHSR.

I also went there with my dad in 2019 during the summer, great experience. However, it is very weird for me, the fact that during our stay in Fairbanks we found NOTHING OPEN! not even a grocery store! The streets around our hotel... empty! It felt more like a ghost town, and it was the summer! We only found a café, with the nicest people in it. We had a nice moment there the night before our road trip along Dalton Highway. The Alaskans are the most beautiful people on this Earth, really. Loved that my dad really enjoyed this :)

You covered some great highlights, but there also…. 1. Creamers Field wildlife sanctuary - birders haven 2. The Midnight Sun baseball game. The Alaska Goldpanners are as old as the World Series and some of the best players in the world have played here. 3. Midnight Sun Run - 10k race that’s more party than a run 4. The Equinox Marathon - once known as the largest Marathon in the world, and one of the 1st to allow women into it. In the 80 years since the race inception, it has only been canceled 3 times. Once for WWII, once for a freak snowstorm, and recently COVID. 4. Restaurants: ELFS Den, Silver Gulch, Pagoda, Lemongrass, food trucks galore. 5. Winter: Aurora Borealis, Dog Sled Rides, Snowmachine (snowmobile), ice fishing, World Ice Carving championships, etc…. There’s a lot to see and do here in the interior.

Few people know these days, but in the 1980s Fairbanks was American capital of Thai food. Amazing places to eat. Also, I was there first week Pagoda was open in North Pole. It was an Arbies I think before that. That mall in North Pole had a big train set running. Always empty that mall. Amazing food! I also remember when Golden Shanghai open. They had best prawn fried rice! Had beautiful decor. Is now a lesser place I think. Also Tiki Cove in that big building. And Dynasty, was higher end Chinese place with these fish tanks by the tables. Fairbanks in 1980s before oil dropped was a hopping place. Have not been back in 20 years.

My family was there in August 2021 and we saw everything on this video. All of the museums, especially the car museum, were fantastic. We were surprised by the cost of food, even supermarket food, being almost twice what we pay in Pennsylvania. A $10 burger in PA was $18. The paddle boat ride along the river was nice if you want to see the sled dogs and a native settlement.

Well Alaska is pretty isolated so of course the cost of living food included would be more.

You didn't mention the restaurant famous for king crabs and seafood. In 1997, that restaurant was my first stop before heading to the pumpstations like 6, 8, 9, 10. Everybody should visit Alaska... beautiful state👌👍❤️

Born and raised in Alaska (the other, bigger city), and you left out just how COLD it gets in Fairbanks in the winter. I played hockey and always dreaded a game at the Big Dipper Arena, so friggin' cold when your a goalie...thankfully Fairbanks hockey has improved from those days, and so has their facilities (yes Fairbanks people, I am whining lmao)

@@ThroughMyLens we’ve had an amazing summer season this year. Next to no fires/smoke and next to no rain till now. Some summers it’s all or nothing of those. The air quality is always clean in my humble opinion unless you talking an ice fog inversion in the middle of winter, and that can easily be avoided by leaving the city limits.
