Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center, Fairbanks

The Cultural and Visitor Center is surprisingly interesting! Initially, I didn’t expect too much from a visitor center, but I quickly realized that they had some of the best curation of exhibitions in Fairbanks! Highly recommend to all the visitors coming to Fairbanks. Also, visitors can get an aurora certificate from the visitor center as a souvenir. Don’t forget to check out the antler arch next to the building!

Definitely make this your first stop if you visit Fairbanks! They have information and brochures available for many local companies, which is helpful for planning what you might want to see or do in the area. The little museum is fantastic - it's an absolute wealth of knowledge on the city's early history, and it also provides a realistic view of life in the bush. They have a gift shop in the building too. Check out the antler arch while you're there!
