Quick Details
Our ridge-top location has a vast northern view, a giant clearing of trees, and zero light pollution. This makes Black Spruce one of the best places in Fairbanks to view the northern lights! Our private Aurora Viewing opportunity is exclusively open to people who have already taken a day tour with us, and are ready to come back and experience some night time magic.
Dog sledding is not included as part of this aurora viewing experience. Instead, your party is invited to use our indoor and outdoor facilities for an evening of playing games, sipping drinks, sitting by the campfire, and hopefully catching some northern lights! With a clear, unobstructed view to the north and zero light pollution, if the aurora is out in the Fairbanks area you will see it here!
Please arrive between 10 – 10:30 pm. A staff member will be around to show you how the campfire works, how to turn the yard lights on/off, and answer any lingering questions you might have. We may also feed the dogs during this time, which is a bonus for you to witness! After this time, your host will leave you alone for the rest of the evening.
10 pm – 3 am
Please show up between 10 – 10:30 pm. This gives us a chance to greet you and show you some of the things you might want for the evening — campfire, board games, hot water, etc.
Technically you can stay for as long or short as you like, but we recommend 3 am as a good departure time.
This activity is not recommended for children under 13 years old. The facility is kept dark to maximize aurora viewing, and may have hazardous objects around like sharp knives, bottle openers or open flames. Additionally, visitors should expect adult activities and language.
This is a private aurora viewing experience. Most groups are as small as 2 or as large as 6. $200 is the base rate for a group of up to 6 people. There is a $50 for each additional person beyond 6.
