Nestled along the Chena River in North Pole, the Aurora Sphere offers a unique opportunity to witness the Northern Lights in Alaska’s only 360-degree transparent glass igloo. This extraordinary setting provides unobstructed views of the aurora as you sip on hot beverages and enjoy complimentary snacks. When the lights dance across the sky, guests are notified and can take advantage of photography services to capture the moment. Cozy up by the outdoor fire pit, complete with firewood, for a perfect end to your night under the stars.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join the Aurora Sphere experience?

A: No specific age limit, but I'd say it's best suited for kids ages 6 and up who can enjoy the cold and stay still for the lights. The igloo is comfy, but some little ones might get restless waiting for the Aurora. Just keep an eye on 'em! Also, they provide hot drinks, which is a nice touch for all ages.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad and we can't see the Northern Lights?

A: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, they usually offer rescheduling options. They keep an eye on forecasts and will notify you if conditions are looking poor. It's always best to check a few days before your booked date.

Q: How's the parking situation at the Aurora Sphere?

A: There's a pretty decent parking lot right near the entrance. Just make sure to arrive early, especially if you're visiting during peak aurora season! It's first come, first served, so you want to snag a spot.

Looking to book the Aurora Sphere for my girlfriend's birthday!

Hey everyone! I'm thinking of booking the Aurora Sphere in North Pole, Alaska, for my girlfriend’s birthday. I've heard the 360-degree igloo is amazing for viewing the Northern Lights. What should I expect? Is it romantic enough? 🤔 I want it to be special!

I went to the Aurora Sphere last week – and WOW!

Just got back from the Aurora Sphere, and it was unreal. The igloo really gives you such a unique view of the Northern Lights! They had these delicious snacks and hot cocoa waiting for us. We even got some stunning photos taken. It’s so cozy by the fire, too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a chill night under the stars!
