Sports fans gather regularly at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks to cheer on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks men's ice hockey team. The Nanooks compete at the NCAA Division I level and perform consistently throughout the seasons.
If you are visiting Alaska, one thing that will strike you about the whole experience is how genuine both the people and the surroundings are. So, if you are thinking of purchasing a souvenir for yourself or a friend, you want to make sure that the item is just as genuine as the place it comes from. That is what makes the Knotty Shop so special. Not only do they offer an extensive selection of all-Alaskan made gifts, it is also a wildlife museum, a gun collection and ice cream shop all in one convenient and very entertaining place.
