Join with the Fairbanks Area Hiking Club and see what hikes they have planned--anything from evening (local) to day trips to overnighters to week long. Going to be here for specific dates? Contact them to see if a particular hike can be arranged to fit in! Members LOVE any excuse to go hiking!
Or if you are interested in canoeing or kayaking, try the Fairbanks Paddlers club. They don't rent boats, but are very friendly and will ALWAYS recommend some fun and exciting water to play on.
And if you don't want to bring your own fishing or rafting gear, try Alaska Fishing and Rafting tours. They have set trips or can help you plan for any number of trips throughout Alaska.
In the winter, try learning dog sledding. All kinds of interesting information and hands on. If you aren't up to actually stepping on the sled, a close of working of the dogs is still very informative.
These activities are not the run of the mill, 'let's play city tourist'. If you want to get outdoors, but not herded from one place to the next, these are the people to contact for seeing Alaska. There are activities for all ages, so don't worry that you aren't in shape, too old/young, or not an avid outdoors person.

Snowshoeing!! Go for a spin through Creamer's field in winter...if possible, try ski-jouring (of course, you'll need a willing dog to do this).
Northern Lights viewing...especially in winter...non-existent in summer.
Head for Ester Dome for great views of the city and the surrounding countryside.
Don't miss the Univ of Alaska Museum...it is great! If you're daring, ask if you can go downstairs to see one of the Museum department's labs, like mammology...and then ask to go see the two headed caribou calf out back!! You'll be in for a real treat. Leave a Comment

The Alaska oil pipeline is accessible a few miles north and east of downtown Fairbanks, an easy drive. A small visitors center is there. It's free, too. Leave a Comment

The University of Alaska Museum of the North is well worth a visit. Plus, the location provides nice views of the Alaska Range on a clear day. Leave a Comment Address: UAF Campus

This is a great place to find all sorts of stuff to buy to bring home and share. There is a lot of history you can learn at alaska land, from the Gold rush, native, wildlife and oil industry. Tourisim is the number 1 industry. Bet you thought it would be the oil, but no, Alaskans know where their bread is truly buttered. Alaska is known as the last frontier. Leave a Comment Address: Airport Road, Fairbanks.Directions: As you are leaving the airport, just go straight until you see the sign on your left. Alaskaland

You have to time it right, but if you can see the breakup of the river ice on the Tanana it is pretty impressive. We usually like to go down to the wayside rest down Chena Pump Road just before you start going up the hill to Chena Ridge. You are just down below where the Chena meets the Tanana and the river gets much narrower, which makes for some good breakup action. We bring a cooler down and get a fire started. Sometimes we spend many hours there if the action is good. Its kind of a party atmosphere. Address: Wayside rest on Chena Pump road.Directions: We watch the Tanana break up down at the wayside rest, but the Chatinika breakup up on the Elliot is just as impressive. I'm sure there are other good spots too.
