Home to the "World Famous" Midnight Sun Baseball game that takes place each summer on Solstice,…read moreJune 21, (since 1906 no less!) Growden Memorial Park is a nice place to catch an Alaska Goldpanners ballgame. Dirt parking lot, old building, wooden billboards, aluminum bleachers with no backrest, 6 or 7 Porta-Potty's as the only restrooms, chain-link fencing, things that are missing nowadays from most modern parks are what make Growden Park unique. But, Growden still holds that baseball magic, something a lot of modern places just can't do. The baseball tradition continues here, and summer games are played under the Alaska sun, no need for artificial lighting. The season is about two months long here, June and July, with most Goldpanners games here nightly at 7, with the occasional 3pm game. There is a lot of interesting history regarding the Goldpanners team, which is available on their website. The Goldpanners are a Collegiate Summer Baseball team, and have been playing at Growden since 1960! 2019 marks the Goldpanners 60th season. There have actually been quite a few legends to come through and play as Goldpanners, including Tom Seaver, legendary Dodger player and broadcaster Rick Monday, Barry Bonds, Bob AND Bret Boone, Cleveland Indians coach and former World Series Boston Red Sox coach Terry Francona, Harold Reynolds, Jason Giambi, Dave Winfield, and more! There is a "beer garden" area, with beer provided by local brewery HooDoo Brewing Company. There is a concession area, with basic snacks, canned sodas, hot pretzels, hot dogs. There is also a Goldpanners merch Area, where you can get your hats or jerseys, etc. Taking a look at the Goldpanners website, their GM John Lohrke is very passionate about baseball, and is committed to this team and providing a quality experience and product to the fans. The fan experience, while, by today's standards, would be quite "basic," I had a good time and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the simplicity of the whole experience, and the main focus being the baseball. There was no WiFi or celebrity chef takeovers, or giant LED 4K screen, or even an ear shattering sound system. There was just nice, quality, fun, old school home-town baseball. The announcer was great, too, and took some funny liberties you wouldn't find in a more "professional" atmosphere. All family friendly of course. A nice touch, mini-"library" pencils were available to keep score on the handout roster, which has a scoresheet on back. I liked keeping score today, something I haven't done in awhile. I'd come again for sure. A great inexpensive place to bring the family. Solid players. Tickets for adults 18-64 are $7, kids 6-17, as well as 65+ are $5. Active Military are $5 as well, and UAF Students are $5. Kids 6 and under are FREE. I paid with cash, not sure of the credit card situation. I'd recommend bringing a pad or sweater or something to sit on to cushion the aluminum bleachers. It is nice to know there is some pure baseball out there, and a great way to spend an evening in Fairbanks, Alaska.

We did the Sled Dog Safari Tour in early June. There are other sled dog experiences you can do in Alaska and we participated in one of those too, but our time at Black Spruce was our most memorable experience in Alaska. We were able to meet all of their dogs and we were very lucky that they had a litter of puppies when we were there which we were able to snuggle. If you are spending any time in Fairbanks, this activity is a must!

The service was wonderful. We booked the 30-minute (2-mile) sled ride, and wow, you can tell these dogs truly enjoy what they do! Check-in was a breeze; they gave us clear safety instructions and explained the history behind the kennel. They even lent us heavy-duty gloves for the cold. Our musher was fantastic, sharing curious anecdotes about the dogs throughout the ride. We stopped at the 1-mile mark for some stunning photos, and at the end, we got to pet and cuddle the dogs, it was amazing! To top it off, they welcomed us back with hot coffee and freshly baked cookies. I felt so well taken care of by the staff. Highly recommended! PS: Don't be afraid to go fast; the dogs LOVE the speed!

I am very out of shape, throw in Covid living for the last two years and things are just tough!…read morePrior to Covid we were very active at the Alaska club, buuuut I was always disappointed by the lack of skill/ knowledge the instructors had some were hands down amazing but many times it seemed like they were just going through the motions. The pricing was also just too much. For probably six months I've been searching for the right fit gym. I tried several in town and nothing really seemed to work, either I felt way out of place or uncomfortable or they had the equipment but no instruction... I heard about PWR house through friends and coworkers, initially I wasn't sure about it because everyone I know who goes to this gym is legit fit. I just didn't want to be another experience where I went to class and all the in shape people look at me like wth is she doing here and snob me. Anyhow about three weeks ago I tried my first class and was totally shocked, everyone was so kind and supportive and I didn't feel out of place at all. So I decided to try a few other types of classes as a "drop in" $15 per drop in is super reasonable too other drop ins I've done at other gyms were $20-35! I was in disbelief after my third class every single class I felt welcome and like I was getting the best work out ever and that the instructors knew their stuff. Now I'm three weeks in and I've gone all in. I joined one of their small personal training groups and sign up for daily classes with my monthly pass- which I cannot stress enough what a crazy deal the monthly passes are - no one in town offers so much for so little as cheesy as that sounds. Everyone is so encouraging and positive! I'm definitely a Debbie downer but even my bitter a$$ feels happy after every single work out I'm getting stronger little by little and I've already noticed just after three weeks my flexibility has at least doubled. I should also say this is definitely a gym for people who might have peaked in their work outs every classes has modifications available to increase or decrease or stay in the middle. If you're just traveling through the drop in classes would be perfect! Or if you're in town for a bit longer they offer a series of classes for a rate and they also have the option of monthly passes to go to as many classes as you want. The vibe inside it unmatched in town and I'm super happy I gave it a try!
