My handicapped child wanted to go to visit the Alaska wilderness, and they had everything in place to make the lodging and tours accessible for us... They even picked us up from the airport. I can't wait to do all of the tours! Thank you so much for the beautiful memories.

Very quant and comfy. And, the curtians did a great job darkening the room.
Thank you, we slept great!

Really enjoyed the stay here, and would recommend to friends. Staff was pleasant, surroundings were outstanding and the guides/naturalists were fantastic!

At Gold Dredge No. 8,
you will be offered a variety of experiences. A short video with actual footage of dredge in operation provides an overview of the entire stripping, thawing, and dredging processes. Afterwards, you are encouraged to wander through the attraction's Bunk House, Bath House and Dredgemaster's House as well as the Supply Center to view interpretive panels and exhibits in order to learn more about dredges, the daily life of the dredge crews, and the operations of the Fairbanks Exploration Company.
Next, you are guided through the dredge itself to view its equipment and gain a better understanding of its size. Finally, supplied with an individual "poke" of dirt, you learn first-hand how to pan for gold and keep what you find!
