Things to do in Fairbanks

Fairbanks is the largest city in Alaska’s Interior, a former Gold Rush town on the Chena River that serves as the supply hub for a vast region reaching north to the Arctic. The University of Alaska Fairbanks is a world center for Arctic research and geophysics, and Fort Wainwright and nearby Eielson Air Force Base make the military a major employer. Mining, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, government, healthcare and tourism round out the economy, along with the logistics of supplying villages and oil fields to the north.
