What you can expect

  • Rest, relax, and refresh during a day or evening at beautiful Chena Hot Springs. Begin your visit by exploring the elaborate frozen carvings inside the resort’s Aurora Ice Museum. Afterwards, warm up with a peaceful soak in the geothermal hot springs and hot tubs.

    After pickup from your Fairbanks hotel, enjoy the scenic 60-mile (96-km) drive to Chena Hot Springs Resort. Bundle up before stepping into the wintry atmosphere of the Aurora Ice Museum. Created from more than 1,000 tons (907 metric tons) of ice harvested from the resort’s property, the museum features colorful ice chandeliers and incredible sculptures created by world-champion ice carvers Steve and Heather Brice.

    After visiting the museum, change into your swimsuit and enjoy the resort’s relaxing hot springs. Soak in the mineral-rich outdoor rock lake, swim in the warm indoor pools, or relax in the outdoor hot tub. If you’re hungry, grab a bite at the resort’s restaurant before showering, drying off, and relaxing on the ride back to Fairbanks.
