The auroras are seen near both poles, north and south. They are formed by the ionization of gases in the atmosphere by highly energetic charged particles from the sun (solar wind) that are trapped in the earth's magnetic field. The charged particles travel along the magnetic field lines which, like the field around a bar magnet, originate and terminate at the poles. These represent the points where the charged particles can therefore come the closest to the earth and interact with the atmosphere.

The aurora borealis , or Northern Lights , makes the night sky glow green , gold , red or purple. The effect is caused by solar wind - radiation from the sun - hitting the Earth's atmosphere. Mostly visible in Alaska.

More like, WHEN is the best time, which is when we are being hit by a mass coronal ejection from the sun and the earth's magnetic field is penetrated by luminecent ions. I saw them here in FL not too long ago in fact! You can see them anywhere really, it's just that the poles are more magnetic and tend to attract them more strongly.

Anchorage, Alaska. Better still, Fairbanks, Alaska.
