Aurora Ice Museum
An ice and snow museum inside Chena Hot Springs, open year-round. Its ice sculptures, ice bar and martini served in ice glasses are the highlights.
Located within Chena Hot Springs Resort, the museum is built from more than a thousand tons of ice and snow and stays at about -7°C year-round. Even in summer you can see ice sculptures of knights, ice chandeliers, ice beds in guest rooms and ice houses. Visits follow scheduled guided tours of about 45 minutes. For an extra charge, you can drink an apple martini from an ice glass at the ice bar. Warm coats are provided, and the museum is most convenient to visit on the same day as Chena Hot Springs.
