Fairbanks Family Wellness

Some of the best attractions in Alaska are the natural kind, and you can see them up close when you take time to visit the Large Animal Research Station in Fairbanks. This is actually one of the more popular attractions in the area, as the facility has thousands of visitors each year. The large number of people who walk through the doors of the Large Animal Research Station is understandable as they all look forward to seeing such indigenous creatures as muskoxen and caribou at a dramatically close distance.

Go classic when you make plans to take in an evening of entertainment put on by the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra. From the works of such masters as Beethoven and Bach to various pops and seasonal presentations, this group of impressive musicians always creates an astounding musical soundscape that will be as relaxing as it is exciting. Performance schedules and ticket information are available on their website.

Fans of nature and the outdoors are truly in their element when they visit the Nenana River. The lush surroundings, the sound of the water and the calming effect of the entire area is something that holds a timeless appeal. This river is a tributary of the Tanana River and runs approximately 150 miles long and welcomes boaters and fishermen as well as admirers of the river's natural amenities.
