Golden Heart Plaza downtown Fairbanks

FREE!!

Come downtown along the Chena to relax and enjoy the 15th year of free downtown concerts. Bring a chair and sit near the larger than life Alaskan family statue in the fountain. This is a nice place to have an ice cream (I remember in the past they've given out free ice cream, not sure this year), and let your kids groove to the music.

Bring the family out to see the antique cars of all shape, sizes, and colors. They're awesome, and provide for a great starter conversation on history and how things were in different eras. Plus they're really cool, and make you think Fonzie must be behind the wheel of one of them!

Chena Lakes Rec Area

Chena Lakes Public Recreation Area

I list Chena Lakes when it's hot, to remind you of a gorgeous place to take the family to cool off, and go swimming or boating.

The cost for a vehicle full is $4.00 ($1.00 per person if you bike, bus, or walk)

My favorite part of Chena Lakes is the clean and inexpensive boat rental.

They have canoes, row boats, pedal boats, and kayaks. They provide life vests, paddles or oars.

You need to leave your drivers license (or ID), and have an adult sign a consent form.

Then boat around the lake to picnic sites or camping spots. It's a non-motorized like, so it's a peaceful and calm day spent on the water.

Prices:

Canoe $6/hour $24/day

Row boat $8/hour $32/day

Pedal boat $10/hour $40/day

Kayak $6/hour $24/day
