What To Expect

Chena Hot Springs Resort

After wandering through the cool museum, don your bathing suit and enjoy the resort’s legendary namesake. The revitalizing mineral water soothes muscles with its warm temperatures of 106 degrees F (41 degrees C) year-round. You can also soak under the stars in an outdoor hot tub, or indoors in the heated pool. In between, slip away to the Aurora Café or the historic Resort Restaurant, where you can purchase meals, snacks, or beverages. When ready, join your expert guide for a small-group outing to view the Aurora Borealis. Your guide will lead you through one of the best places on earth to witness the green and purple illuminations loop across the night sky. Wait and witness the celestial wonder with hot beverages in the late evening, when viewing opportunities are the highest. The lights are also visible inside the cafe's Aurora Room, which serves as a comfortable and warm location for viewings. Note: We can never guarantee the Northern lights sighting.

Our family had an amazing experience and Claire was an amazing guide! We went in October 2022 and were able to see the northern lights. Claire made sure we got the best view and pictures. Also loved the ice museum and recommend buying a drink at the bar there. The hot springs were so relaxing. Definitely a one of a kind experience that is 100% worth it.

This was overall an amazing trip. My main goal was to see the Northern Lights but knew that the probability was low due to snow the day before and day of. I didn't choose to go in the hot springs but was told that it was a comfortable experience. The Ice museum was pretty awesome and Dylan did a fantastic job of hosting the event and explaining the work put in to making the ice statues. Our tour guide, Claire, was amazing and had wonderful knowledge of the Alaskan frontier. Claire also gave us information about the Northern Lights activity and how to spot the best time to see them. Thank you, Claire! The restaurant after the Ice Museum tour had some amazing food as well. The salmon burger was probably the best I'd ever had. While the Chena Hot Springs location would have been a beautiful place to have seen the Northern Lights, on my way back to Anchorage...there they were! I thought I was not going to see them.
