A Very unique site that you must see if you are in the area. Make sure to bundle up because it is cold inside but something you will remember. Entertaining for the whole family.

Hard to believe that everything is made of ice. It is part of the Chena Hot Springs Resort. So, take them both in.

Signed up for ice musuem tour at Chena Hot Springs: $15 pp + $15 for appletini. Entered building with group of about 30 people...but plenty of room.

Plenty of time to wander around, take... More

I visited the Ice Museum on a hot day around June 24th 2011. You have the option of paying an extra $15.00 for an ice martini when you sign up for the tour. I skipped this and did not regret it. You enter a building which looks like a church. The front foyer room is full of warm parkas that... More

High price tickets to see ice sculptures mostly behind glass. Fairbanks is a boring destination if you stay in the city in may--we were there 3 days--two days too many.
