Creator's Key Takeaways
North Pole is actually the name of the town. Uh inside here, pretty much the highlight of North Pole, Alaska, is the Santa Claus house where it is Santa.
Pioneer Park was really a hidden gem. We had seen some YouTube videos on it and it looked kind of interesting but most of them just really touched on it very lightly. Um this was just fantastic.
If you were in Fairbanks, rent a car. Well, Pioneer Park actually isn't all that far. I believe that it's a stop on Shuttle Roots. Go to Pioneer Park. Spend a few hours there.
