  • Three generations, one epic view

    The Eberhardt family and the Aurora Borealis share a common reality: They’ve all been hanging out north of Fairbanks, Alaska, for a long, long time.

    Sure, the Northern Lights likely have been twisting and crackling in the night sky for millions of years. But the Eberhardts have been there a while, too — Walter Eberhardt first homesteaded the family’s 280-acre ranch in 1947.

    Today, Walter’s grandson Kory runs the family show, which features two Aurora-oriented experiences.

  • Hello, Alice!

    * Keeping the family as well as the enterprise vital and successful across generations.
