The Aurora Ice Museum is located approximately one hour from Fairbanks within the Chena Hot Springs Resort and is the world’s largest year-round ice sculpture display. All sculptures at the museum were created by champion ice carvers Heather and Steve Brice, the winners of 23 World Ice Art Championships. The museum is temperature-controlled at 25 degrees Fahrenheit and showcases unique sculptures such as a two-story observation tower, a Christmas tree, and fort-style children’s bedrooms. Unique colored ice chandeliers meant to mimic the region’s aurora borealis hang over the Aurora Ice Bar, which serves custom appletinis to visitors over 21. Tours of the museum are offered daily, with complimentary parkas available for all tour participants.
