I agree with a previous reviewer, in that this is really the best thing about Chena. The young lady who gave the tour was informative and friendly. The appletini was good but keeping the glass is not very practical. For the price they should make it out of glass, of course it is optional. The museum is fun and it... More

We drove from Fairbanks to the Chena Lodge/Hot Springs. This ice house is located on the property, not to be confused with the one in downtown Fairbanks, which we did not visit. It is 60 miles from Fairbanks and there really isn't anything else on the road. We did see some moose, so that was nice. The 'lodge' is something... More

the display was very nice. each carving was fascinating. Watched a wedding taking place, then enjoyed an appletini in a glass made of ice. lots of fun and very unique way to get married.

We rented a car and drove up the ~70 miles to Chena Hot Springs resort. Stopped along the way on a couple of the many pull offs. Beautiful scenic drive. At the museum, they provided parkas & we had hats & gloves too. Museum was small but beautiful. Enjoyed the martinis in the handmade ice glasses. Expensive, but hey, its... More

This place is a tourist trap. After going to the Ice festival the ice museum was a big let down, The tour guide was more interested in hustling as through because the tour started a little late. Don't waste your money the free tour of the geothermal plant and green houses was way more interesting. A long drive.

I had no idea what to expect, but the carvings are amazing. And drinking an appletini out of an ice glass is very fun (plus it was good!)

This is worth seeing (although a bit pricey). The sculptures are amazing and it is sort of neat to see what can be created from ice.

We went here at the same time Fairbanks was doing their annual Ice Festival. The Festival is the better deal. More sculptures for less cost, plus an ice slide park for the kiddies The guy who let us in to the museum didn't even know how much the spheres weighed, which I found odd considering they were all over the...

I think the title, "museum," is a bit of a misnomer, as was the "tour." Without a doubt, the sculptures are beautiful, and the work that went into the construction and creation is impressive. It is like a warehouse freezer with several incredible pieces of art made of ice, a bar that serves 1 drink (Appletinis) and several beds made... More
