Pioneer Park displays Alaskan history and heritage in a cozy outdoor environment. In addition to offering a playground and picnic area, the park also features a Wi-Fi connection and a selection of small shops, museums, galleries, and restaurants. Many are tucked inside historical wooden houses and cabins that were transported here from other locations across the state. One of the park's main attractions is the five-decked paddle steamboat, SS Nenana. The vessel once transported passengers and cargo but is now a museum. Admission to the park is free, but some attractions and activities have fees. For Pioneer Park and beyond, use our Fairbanks online visit planner to get the most from your Fairbanks vacation.

  Cane here during the winter on a very snowy day and had a beautiful stroll around. Very nice scenery. Nice to walk around and see all the different areas of Fairbanks. Nice area for photography. Cute little log houses that you could peek into. The auditorium was a bit outdated but nice to go in and see the local art exhibitions.

  A great family spot in Fairbanks. Playground, train ride, tons of Alaska history and if you get hungry every night there’s the salmon bake. Dry camping in the parking lot which is great if you are passing through town or get there late. Great access to the Chen’s river bike trails.
