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).

A lot of work backed by a lot of skill went into making the sculptures inside this quonset-hut looking building. And it's bigger inside than you might think. My favorite sculpture was the jousting knights. This is not an all-day or even all-morning activity. For us, it was about 45 minutes, and we took our time.

The museum is under construction but it is a cool thing to do while in Fairbanks. We enjoyed the Appletini and the environment. We didn’t get to see a sculptor working. It’s about a 45 minute tour and people were leaving sooner. Wear your warm clothes and embrace the fun of being in an igloo! Let others go first then enjoy the back areas with no one back there!

For me, the highlight of my ice museum experience was their apple martini. Drinking apple martini from a cup made entirely with ice was such a unique and unforgettable experience! In addition, after you finish your drink you can smash your cup and make a wish :)

Very small walkthrough for the price and non existent friendly staff. Did get a half smile from the bartender for the $9 tip on the $21 martini. Half of the exhibit was blocked off and could not see everything. And it was so dark you could slip or trip on a lot of things.

The Aurora Ice Museum is really cool. The tour itself was short and fascinating. You get to explore the art solo and take tons of pictures. When you're done the guide will make you an Appletini, which was delish. They're served in ice glasses. Overall, it was a nice little museum. We really enjoyed our visit.

The ice house has some cool pieces but it’s extremely small and a handful of the pieces were melted. If you are staying at the hotel and want something you do for 20-30 minutes and take photos then it can be fun. If you are driving from Fairbanks which we did to go see it, it’s not worth the drive and overpriced.

Interesting but little disappointed in the tour. The tour was very short, the museum was small and we didnt see anyone other than construction workers working with the ice. The guide was nice and the appletini was good but not really worth the $40 (tour is $20 plus $20 for the drink). Checked it off the bucket list but probably would not go back.

Fun place to visit in downtown Fairbanks. Located in an historic theater building that is undergoing restoration. We had a great time with n the slide, visiting the ice “bar” and the various interactive sculptures. The highlight is actually watching a new creation by one of the amazing ice artists.

2 sizes of coats are available to put on in the 1st room, you then enter the “working” area where the artists work their magic & then on into the main room with all the fun & wonderful ice structures! Pay extra for the appletini martini in your own glass made of ice & sip away at the ice bar or tables near the fireplace! Just have fun!!
