The real North Pole sits in the middle of the Arctic Ocean and a trip there will be a truly Arctic experience but unless you're a polar bear just be prepared for harsh conditions in the frozen wilderness. We arrived at the sign after a rainy evening so the path and grassy area was wet and muddy with puddles. No parking area, just pull over to the side in front of the sign. The sign is a short drive from Fairbanks. If you find this sign you're just 1.5 miles from Santa Claus House (3-min drive). Review #3126
