Museums


I think we have visited almost every museum in Fairbanks, most which are conveniently located in Pioneer Park and all excellent - Pioneer Museum, Air Museum, Train Museum, Steam Paddle Boat which plied the Yukon River for 25 years, etc. I tried to get Charlie to climb aboard this snowmachine in the Ice Museum, but he said it was too COLD! There is a big carving festival in Feb, but this museum is the work of 4-5 persons created and opened for the tourist season - which has begun! We are back in FBKS after a couple of days NW of here and there were 8 tour buses in town! They say bookings are down, but there is so much connected to 'making it' in the brief 3-4 month tourist season. And the mosquitoes are now VERY WELCOMING!!!
