Hi,

I read around Fairbanks is the best location to view the Northern Lights? Anywhere else?

Thank you!

The Northern Lights are visible in winter under certain conditions as far south as Mexico.
Fairbanks and vicinity are excellent locations to view them, from September through April as the best viewing times.

The Aurora Forecast site of the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the world's leading authority on the Aurora Borealis. (0 = no visible aurora; 9 = mind-boggling visible activity)
The Geophysical Institute Auroral Forecast Page

Here are C-D threads including lots of info about them:

This is a great help in planning any travel - trip advisor dot com. Real reports from real travelers about their experiences. Here is the Fairbanks page -- not a ton of "touristy" info but a ton of evaluations.

For some reason, the Search citation above went funny. Here are the most information-packed C-D threads about the Northern Lights:
