Join the Bags Packed Family as we spend 24 incredible hours exploring the hidden gems of Fairbanks, Alaska! We kick off our adventure at the World Ice Art Competition, sliding down icy creations, playing games, and marveling at stunning carvings. Next, we fuel up at a unique aviation-themed wood-fired pizza spot that’s a local favorite. Then, we dive into Alaska’s rich culture and heritage at the Morris Thompson Cultural Center—such a cool experience! Kelly and the kids spice things up with a visit to an authentic Thai restaurant, getting us pumped for our upcoming international travels. We wrap up the day back at the World Ice Competition, soaking in the magic of the sculptures lit up at night.
