Such a fun place with great facilities and friendly staff. I went ice climbing there for the first time and there was someone to help me get up, put my equipment on, and it was a great first experience!

Fun place they have a giant out door climbing wall. On the inside they have a nice gym, more climbing walls, basketball courts, and ice rink. The best part you dont have to be a student to be a member to the rec center. The prices will also not break the bank.

They do most things very well, but I have to say its hard not to play basketball one on one with your friend and just shoot hoops.

Outstanding museum on Alaska native cultures. Plan to spend an entire day--you will not be bored. Films, displays, guided tours, visuals, hands-on science center for kids and adults. They shooed us out at closing time.

If youre a student this is definitely a great place to workout, with three open courts for various sports, an indoor track, and a small weight room it definitely fills your workout needs.

Not a student, there is a public sled hill great for a quick break. Its nothing intense but super fun for children and adults; lackluster for thrill-seekers.

Pretty cheap membership especially if you live with a student. Gym is fine enough has a little of everything.

Im updating this review because the SRC had updated their gym. Bafflingly, as if it were 2005, the gym has converted the weight room (which previously hosted dumbbells, barbell and plate loaded weight lifting) into (Im being serious here) a crossfit gym. They displaced all the typical weight lifting equipment with 8 power racks and then sprinkled Olympic platforms in the free ground space. The weightlifting gear was relegated to the corners of the indoor track and for all intensive purposes does not work anymore (you literally have to circle the track several times for a lifting routine now). My only guess is some guy with purchasing power likes CrossFit and basically said to heck with everyone else, Ill do what ok want.I would not pay to go here now. Even though my membership is paid for Im still looking at leaving due to this silliness.**My previous 3-star review**Things here are basic and mostly compete. Theres nothing new, nothing nice, but there is enough to stay in shape. Unfortunately if something breaks its going to be a very long time before it gets fixed, but most of the equipment is tough.A word of caution, theres a lot of young guys (specifically) that lift with terrible form, loudly, and dont understand what they dont understand... If you get what Im saying. Unfortunately I have to mention that, but you can avoid the childishness by staying away from peak hours.

Busy rec center bought with student fees. To my knowledge was the first UAF building bought in this fashion. Created the precident for the University to steal from the pockets of students when they decide to shirk responsibilities of building facilities.
