The museum is pretty small with a few exhibits. The highlight was the ice bar and Apple Martini that they serve in ice cups. Unique place and nice exhibits. They also have an ice bed, igloo and other things worth seeing once.

The ice museum was interesting, but pretty small, and the tour guide did a good job, but kept referencing parts of the exhibits that used to be there or previously looked a certain way that they no longer do. I think it could be spun a little more positively so that the visitors don't feel like they're missing out on seeing things. We're glad we did it and if you're already planning to visit Chena Springs it's an interesting thing to do, but I wouldn't make a trip specifically for the museum.

This is a cool experience but I wouldn't call it a museum. There is a small intro when your brought into the museum but then the rest of the tour is focused on serving drinks. It is cool to walk around the hotel rooms and see the different styles.

The Aurora Ice Museum contains a beautiful exhibit of ice art! We greatly enjoyed the tour and the opportunity to explore the various rooms and sculptures. We're also extremely grateful to Steven in the Activities Center for facilitating our visit and helping with our last minute change of plans. Thanks so very much, Steven! You helped to make our day perfect.

My wife and my adult son drove up from Fairbanks for the day to do the hot spring pool and the ice museum. The museum was really cool. I liked it a bit better than the one in Fairbanks, but that may have to do with the martinis we were being served in Cheyna. If you are a Georgia Bulldogs fan, keep an eye out for the hidden Georgia 'G' that is somewhere in the building. They have coats you can use if you happen to be there when it's warm outside. Didn't need them in April as I was already dressed for freezing temps.

It was fun. The tour guide Ann and the young man shaping the glasses out of ice were a lot of fun and the appletini was very good, but we did feel a bit rushed in drinking it. The museum is fascinating, but small. I'm not sure I'd do it again. The hot springs were relaxing, but the dressing rooms, spa and pool area seemed a bit dirty.

The ice carvings are amazing. Each group gets about an hour to walk through the carvings. Warm Parkers are provided. Recommend bringing gloves if you get cold. Many photo opportunities. Fun for adults and kids as well. It was cool (pun intended) to watch the ice martini glasses being formed. The appletinis are good but overpriced. Very small portion. This is kind of a ” been there done that” experience. No need to return.

The tour of the Aurora Ice Museum was fun, interesting and unique. Our guide’s personality added a lot to the experience. We appreciated being able to borrow parkas to stay warm (it’s ice after all…). I might have appreciated a bit more light inside the museum, and we were all disappointed that there wasn’t a live ice-carving demonstration during our tour. To avoid disappointment, it would be good to let guests know ahead of time which tours will feature a demonstration and which won’t. We didn’t purchase Appletini’s, but those guests who did seemed to thoroughly enjoy that part of their tour. Highly recommended.

We went to the ice museum as part of our day at the Chena hot springs. The tour itself is not long, then you have the chance to walk around and take pictures. We enjoyed watching the gentleman carve a glass from a piece of ice. He answered our questions and was friendly. It is cold in there. Be sure to grab on of the coats available.

Meh, I was expecting more I guess...I know that they are currently under some repairs and so we didn't get the whole experience plus I was there with my 8 year old so I didn't partake in the Apple Martini which seemed to be more of the focus of the tour. If there had been a little more light, that would have been appreciated as well as a demonstration on ice sculpting? I am glad I didn't pay full price for the experience (or $30 for the drink).
