Normally, off-season is the best time to travel to any location. In the case of Alaska, the risk of travel interruption due to weather is so great during their off-season (winter) that it can be difficult to even get trip insurance. Therefore, travel to Alaska is best in the summer months. The best time of the year to schedule travel to Alaska is during the months of May and June. The longest day of the year occurs around June 21st, so this really provides a lot of time for sightseing.
Fairbanks Alaska has 11 months of darkness per year, and 5 months of light/dark mix the rest of the year. Except during leap year, when Fairbanks only has 9 months total, and 7 of them are non-stop light, to make up for the eleven months of darkness.
That depends on the time of year. In winter it can be dark by 5pm. In summer it can be bright until as late as 11pm on a clear night.
