Q&A
A: Yes! 1st Alaska Outdoor School is pretty flexible. If the weather’s not cooperating, they’ll let you know and help you reschedule. Just make sure to check in with them ahead of time, as they want to ensure you get the best view of the Aurora!
A: Definitely! Kids usually love the Northern Lights. There’s no strict age limit, but younger ones might need some warm layers, as it can get cold up on Murphy Dome. Just make sure they can handle the late night since you’ll be out for a while!
A: Layering is key! Wear thermal layers, a good winter coat, gloves, and definitely a hat. If you plan to take photos, make sure your camera is ready for the cold too. You’re right, it can get chilly up at Murphy Dome, so just bundle up!

Just booked the Northern Lights tour in Fairbanks!
I’m super excited! I’ve always wanted to see the Northern Lights, and I heard Murphy Dome is one of the best spots. I booked it for next month with 1st Alaska Outdoor School. They pick you up from your hotel, and there’s hot cocoa! Just hoping the weather cooperates. Anyone have tips for the best way to capture them on camera?
Northern Lights viewing success!
I took my girlfriend on this tour last week, and wow, it was amazing! The guide was super knowledgeable, and the hot drinks were perfect for the cold. We saw the lights dancing, and I got some great shots! If you’re thinking about gifting this experience, do it! Worth every penny.
