Pair a relaxing Chena Hot Springs soak with an Ice Museum visit on a six-hour Fairbanks-area tour led by a local guide.

About this tour

Experience two distinctive Alaska attractions on a six-hour outing from Fairbanks. Visit the Ice Museum, where icy surroundings offer a striking contrast to the warmth of the Chena Hot Springs pool. Your tour includes admission to the museum and a pool pass, with bottled water and snacks available in the air-conditioned van.

A locally owned small business leads the experience, with guides who know Alaska’s backroads, trails, wildlife areas, and small towns. The provider describes its tours as small-group outings, offering a more personal way to explore. Dinner and food at the activity center are not included, and towel rental is extra; bringing a towel from your lodging is recommended. The Ice Museum Appletini is also excluded.

Chena Hot Springs and the Ice Museum make a memorable pairing of warm waters and frozen artistry. Book this Fairbanks-area tour to enjoy both highlights with a local guide.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.85 from 62 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Fairbanks
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 35% in Fairbanks means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Fairbanks by this score.
