Attraction at Pioneer Park

Located in Pioneer Park in Fairbanks, 40 Below Fairbanks is a great experience for children and adults. If you are visiting Alaska during the summer months, which are the most comfortable months in which to visit, you can still experience the feeling of temperature Alaskans experience during the winter. The difference with this attraction is that instead of just going about your normal life in these bitter cold temps, you get to learn about Alaskan history and the best way to survive the harsh winters, and maybe even be comfortable during the bitter cold months. There is a gift shop on site. Visitors dress up in heavy coats and snow boots and are taken to a room where they are prepped for their 40 below experience. In the area where the temperature dips the most, you can sit on furniture constructed from ice, and witness the reaction of the cold on a variety of items like fruit, wood, and of course, your very own body. Visitors are given a chance to toss a boiling cup of water into the air to see the reaction of the sub-zero temperatures on the water. Kids will be amazed at what happens as the water hits the air. A visit to 40 Below Fairbanks is a great way to experience Alaskan outdoor life.
