What an incredible Northern Lights experience in an Aurora Sphere! It was worth every minute. As soon as we arrived, and the vibrant green waves of the Northern Lights started dancing overhead. It was absolutely magical! The Aurora Sphere itself is stunning—brand new, spotless, and beautifully designed with comfy sofas, elegant tables, and chairs inside, making it feel like a luxurious cozy nest under the stars. Lying inside the warm bubble, watching the aurora swirl above while sipping hot drinks, was pure bliss. Highly recommend this spot—it’s a dream come true for aurora chasers!

It’s a must go place to watch the aurora. Great service, especially the photographer taking really really good pictures for us. I also notice they provide snowmobile ride experience. I will participate it. I strongly recommend everyone who visits Fairbanks join this tour!
