Ice museum was pretty cool; how could it not be...We took the riverboat ride on the Chena River as well...Not too far away is Chena Hot Springs, and that was interesting, and you can fish for grayling on the North Branch of the Chena River on the way up to the hot springs..
I'd like to go back in the winter for the Ice Carving Festival...

No salmon fishing in Fairbanks, head to the coast for that. There is a good museum at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, don't miss the gold museum if you don't mind drooling over gold nuggets nearly the size of your fist.

I'd like to go back in the winter for the Ice Carving Festival... I will second what Redknot says about the Grayling ffishing on the Chena. Wife and I spent a day of spectacular fishing on one hole we found. Moosetrot
