Chena Hot Springs Resort is best known for its natural hot springs, awesome Ice museum, great aurora viewing, and our geothermal powered facilities.
We are the most accessible and developed hot spring resort in Alaska's Interior. This amazing place was discovered in August 1905 and became famous for curing crippled prospectors of their aches and pains. Fairbanksans would take the near day trip each way to enjoy the healing waters and soak.
Today, many local, state, national and international visitors enjoy Chena's natural outdoor hot springs, indoor family pool, the gorgeous scenery or any of our numerous attractions. Come out see what we have to offer with a relaxing day trip, enjoy the 60 mile scenic ride and soak in our natural hot springs. We have the coolest year-round Ice Museum.
