🧑🎄 Santa Claus House
🧑🎄 Santa Claus House The Christmas vibe naturally comes with lots of holiday-themed items 🎅✨—a shop mainly filled with local travel souvenirs🏬. Hats🧤, fridge magnets, postcards🎑 printed with Alaska designs. For “lazy” girlfriends👭 who don’t want to walk or take a taxi to Walmart or Costco in the city, you can buy small gifts right here. Take the “Three Sled Dog” Alaskan husky hat as an example—only a $1 difference from the $20 product, such a price💰! Of course, buying postcards to mail to friends and family from faraway Alaska is also a nice choice (those with Arctic Circle itineraries can mail from the northernmost post office🏤), adding even more alue💌🗺️. University of Alaska Museum of the North The museum displays lots of local flora, fauna, and human evolution📚🌿. Guides Anna and Lichen added so much with their explanations👍🎤, like: How to survive a bear encounter🐻🚨 Magical local foods that beat canned salmon🐟🥫 Differences between black, brown, and polar bears🐻❄️ Stories of bear families and salmon📖🐟—educational and fun! Second-floor Art Gallery Stroll around freely, snap photos of works you like🖼️📸. Feel the local culture and artistic taste; visit the “art cubicles” that kinda resemble taller Chinese “jiaoz”-style spaces🎭📍. Don’t worry at all about the❄️snowflakes falling outside or the -40°C temperatures❄️🥶. Ps The museum is super warm, even warmer than the hotel🔥🏨. When entering from outside, you pass through a coat room (restrooms🚻 nearby); you can hang your clothes yourself (unattended, keep valuables with you👜). You can wander more between historical stories and modern art🎭~ #Alaska#Fairbanks#SantaClausHouse#ArcticMuseum#TravelGuide#UniversityOfAlaska#Postcards#SledDogs
