This was a cool place to see ice art and have an apple martini while enjoying the museum. Located in Chena Hot Springs Resort, the tour has set times, and they do supply extra jackets if what you are wearing is not warm enough.

Join the aurora tour. Suppose to be leaving at 3am, but stranded on top of the moutain for 1+hr without any info on what happened to the ride down. Ended up at the base at 5am instead. Staff on top of the mountain dome have no way to communicate with the driver crews and get update. Worst arrangement ever.

Not really much of a museum. There are a couple of ice carved stuffed which is cool to look at. There is an igloo and a few rooms made of ice. Not bad for 15$. The martini is another 20$. They serve it in a glass made of ice so bring a glove if you decide to go for it. I don't really know why it is a guided tour because the guide only gave us a few lines of info. Not to blame him because again, there isn't much that needs any explaining They have this ritual at the end where you break the ice glass in which they serve you the martini. Overall, my recommendation would be to go for the $15 ticket but only if you don't have any other plans. Prioritise any other plans you may have over this because you would definitely not feel bad about missing out on this. The museum tour might get you a couple of fun pics. The martini is a tourist trap.
