  1. 4.0 Santa Claus House (1.051 reviews)
    - So-so ok, enjoyable
    Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality & Gift Shops • Points of Interest & Landmarks
    Santa Claus House image
    You really kind of know what you’re getting when reading about this place ahead of time so it’s hard to be too disappointed. Tourist trap? Over-priced gift store? Tacky Christmas decorations? There doesn’t seem to be tons to do in the Fairbanks area (other than outdoor/nature related of course), so this was a nice little stop not requiring a far out of the way drive. It was enjoyable to see the shop. We didn’t buy much due to prices. Santa wasn’t in, but we were childless and so this was a non-issue. Overall I appreciated the Christmas theme of the city itself just as much or more so than the store. See more..

    Aurora Dora image
    When It's Dark, I See the Lights! I relocated from Brazil to Alaska in 2001 and have been chasing and photographing Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) ever since. I never heard about the Northern Lights before I moved to Alaska. The first time I saw them it was love at first sight. That was it! From there on I knew what I wanted to do, I wanted to share the Auroras with the world and show them to everyone who doesn't have the opportunity to see the Northern lights. That's what I have been doing since. From long and cold nights photographing amazing auroras through the skies, and teaching northern lights photography workshops, to the summers explaining and showing the auroras to the ones that are not able to visit Alaska in the winters. I am a photographer in Alaska, living the dream life of many photographers. Many of my images were published by NASA, Space Weather Live, Washington Post, space.com, Nature Photographer Magazine, Society of Nature Photographers, just to name a few. See more..

    Spent 1-2 hours Speciality & Gift Shops
    While visiting in Fairbanks, we saw Judie Gumm's jewelry creations at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor's Center gift shop, as well as If Only...Gift Shop in town on Cushman Street. I saw earrings I liked at the Thompson Center, but when I went back later to get them, the gift shop was closed. The employee at the If Only Gift shop told me of Judie's show room, which is about 5 miles south of Fairbanks in Ester. We drove there late in the afternoon on a Friday, and it was still open (sometimes they close early). I was able to look at so many of her beautiful pieces, find the earrings I had originally liked, and even make a change in the semi-precious stone that were included. While we completed my order, Judie came in and spent time visiting with us. When the earrings arrive at my home in TX, they will always be a special memento of our trip! Thank you, Judie! See more..
