Magic!! - The experience was unforgettable. The entire place is spotless and well prepared with everything you need to enjoy a pleasant time while waiting for the appearance of the Northern Lights. The manager was very friendly and welcoming, and helped us with everything we needed that night. I would definitely come back again. 100% recommended.

So Good! - Only about 30 minutes from Fairbanks. Daniel is very nice and friendly. This dome experience was perfect for seeing aurora. There are heaters that keep the dome a very comfortable temperature. The furniture is comfortable for waiting for the Aurora. When you get to the address, keep going down the roads and follow the yellow signs and arrows. There was some candy and water, but bring some food if your own if you tend to get hungry. The best viewing of the aurora was closer to the end of the time (around 1am) so waiting is definitely recommended. Overall highly recommend this experience.

Magical Aurora experience - What an incredible Northern Lights experience in an Aurora Sphere! It was worth every minute. As soon as we arrived, and the vibrant green waves of the Northern Lights started dancing overhead. It was absolutely magical! The Aurora Sphere itself is stunning—brand new, spotless, and beautifully designed with comfy sofas, elegant tables, and chairs inside, making it feel like a luxurious cozy nest under the stars. Lying inside the warm bubble, watching the aurora swirl above while sipping hot drinks, was pure bliss. Highly recommend this spot—it’s a dream come true for aurora chasers!

Fantastic experience - It’s a must go place to watch the aurora. Great service, especially the photographer taking really really good pictures for us. I also notice they provide snowmobile ride experience. I will participate it. I strongly recommend everyone who visits Fairbanks join this tour!

Good experience! - It's a slightly difficult place to get to, but it's worth spending the night there. It has a great view of the Northern Lights, and you can take incredible photos. The place is quite cold, but it gets warmer inside the sphere. The host was amazing, very friendly and always attentive. I would definitely go back.

A splendid waste of money - Find another actual cabin instead of this gimmicky dome. Location - location on the listing was wrong. I had to follow up multiple times and escalate to support to get the right directions to the place. Experience - The dome was full of ice so there was no visibility from inside the dome. The heaters inside the dome were tiny and you had to camp really close to it to feel warm. There were no snacks or drinks provided. Guide - guide felt too cold to take good photographs for us. No tripods or camera equipment available either.
