Fairbanks Family Fun Train

Two-and-a-half-hour family train ride south from Fairbanks with fall foliage views

Alaska Railroad runs the Fairbanks Family Fun Train as a two-and-a-half-hour round trip departing south from Fairbanks and returning to the same depot. The ride is built around onboard entertainment, with family-friendly games, crafts and snacks for children, while the windows frame sweeping views of Alaska's Interior and fall foliage. There is no day-by-day itinerary or hotel stay involved; it is a single, self-contained outing rather than a multi-day tour. The evidence does not give a price or exact operating months, but the fall foliage views point to an autumn season. This suits families with children looking for a short, entertaining train ride rather than a long scenic journey.
