If you have some time in Fairbanks, visit the Museum of the North,
It is absolutely worth coming forth!
You'll learn about Alaskan culture, wildlife and natural wonders,
Come check it out before going asunder.
The dinosaur fossils were frankly amazing,
The exhibits make you wonder about when they were grazing.
The Alaskan cultural exhibits were informative and inspiring,
You will be able to learn while you're admiring.
So come learn about the culture of the Alaskan state,
It was truly informative and absolutely great!

We loved the museum! There is so much to read and learn - we were there for hours! We also loved the documentary showings offered at various times. They even have a self check in coat storage which is nice to shed your heavy winter coat, however, it does go by the honor system- there is no attendant there. Bathrooms are also very clean and the gift shop and concession cafe was nice.
