My entire family consisting of myself, my wife, and 5 young kids had the greatest time here! Very good memories that will last a lifetime!!!! It was so much fun seeing the exhibits and sliding down the ice slides! I thought it was really cool (no pun intended) they converted an old movie theater into this museum.

So much more than my daughter and I expected!!! As you enter you are not quite sure what to expect...So glad we stopped by. Had an awesome time going down the ice slide and taking pics with the sculptures!! Recommended ...a must see!

Amazing experience in the museum! Andy helped us to take a lot of good pictures in the museum and we enjoyed a great ice painting show. It was a memorable one-hour trip!

Interesting place to visit if you have kids. Its as cold as it sounds. Smaller than I expected.

Andy did a great job at entertaining us! We loved everything. Definitely not a typical place. Very unique!

Kitschy dive of a place but definitely fun and memorable! Worth the visit. Be sure to do the ice slide.

What a fun little treasure in Fairbanks! Admission is $15/person and the experience starts with a 20 minute video on ice carving and its historical and cultural presence in Alaska. Then we have 20 minutes of exploring the ice sculptures and posing for pictures with them, they are all pretty interactive! There is even an ice slide we can slide down using the sled provided, how fun! The experience is wrapped up with a demonstration of carving ice and incorporating color into the carving by the funny and nice host. Great visit!

Great place to visit! Also a great video on the Aurora lights set to music

This really felt like a tourist trap. If you can make it to the ice museum at Chena Hot Springs I would recommend that instead. You will be in and out in 5 minutes.

Was very personal and fun Andy is excellent....

Deceptive from the Outside, cute little place. You will be in and out in an hour. My kids (14 and 9) loved it. There is an ice slide inside both the kids and adults loved. If you are in Fairbanks, it is a good bit of fun and the owners really make an effort to make the experience fun. There is a slight language barrier but not enough to dampen the experience.

Hour long presentation. 20 min video, 20 mins in the room with the ice carvings, and a demo of ice carving at the end. I had fun, a little more expensive than I would have preferred, but next time Im in town, Ill bring my family anyway.

This was so cool. Never been to an u w museum. It was a lot of fun. Cold but fun. You also get a personal ice carving show from the owner.It’s a must see just a little place. But it brought me make to my kiddo days. A ice slide, bar, stools, etc. it’s cheap and doesn’t take all day. You can add this in with something else you’re doing in the area.

Wandering around Fairbanks with some time to kill, the Ice Museum helped to kill that time. The highlight is Andy, who took the time to tell us which sculptures to take photos of (spoiler alert: its all of them ). The ice slide was really fun. Then Andy demonstrated some ice carving and that was also pretty ok. Museum gets like 2 stars, but Andy gets 5.

Really cool ice sculptures. Narrator was funny.

I liked the second half, but sitting thru he movie was tough. They really need to update the movie which must be at least two decades old. The owner was nice and engaging. Id give the movie three stars and the exhibits four stars and the demo three stars. So like 3.3 stars. At fifteen bucks a head its a good value, but fell a little below my expectations.

Loved it! The ice artist Andy is such a sweet heart! Make sure you record him telling about the museum it is so cute he had us in stiches! Love this little place. Its a old movie theater!! Love you Andy you made our day

Smaller than I was expecting but still super fun!

Dont let the outside fool you. We were impressed with the short video and ice carving demonstration. The adults and kids both enjoyed touching and playing on the ice sculptures. This is a must if you are in the area. This is also wheelchair/powerchair accessible.

Fun, small place. They will show you one small movie about ice scripting competition. After that a small tour at ice sculptures they have on site. Good for kids. Entry fees are cheap, probably around 15 bucks per person.

This place was fun! The film was rather dated and low quality, but the host of the tour (Andy) was very friendly, fun and talented! My 19 year old son and I enjoyed the experience and even went down the ice slide! We had fun snapping photos with the sculptures and also enjoyed watching Andy make a rose ice sculpture with colors added in! Were from Arizona, so it was a unique experience!

I give 4 stars for the effort of this museum. But please be advised. Great people who run it and wonderful customer service but it reminds me of someones garage where they turned it into an ice museum with a very cold AC. Its very home made nothing special. Cool sculptures.

Excellent service! They stayed open a day after they closed for the season just to let us drive through and see the exhibits. Definitely going back next year!

Nice exhibit in the heart of Fairbanks. 20 minute video is about 10 minutes too long and poor quality. Needs to be re-shot with newer equipment. But still a cool place to visit....pun intended. $15 to enter.

Very affordable. Good show. 1 hour long. Not a high dollar production, but worth the 10 bucks for an adult ticket. Kids had a lot of fun on the indoor ice slide!

Great tour guide and photo ops! The kids loved it!

Twenty minute video was too long, poor quality and like sitting through someones own home video. There was no ice sculpting demonstration so it was walk yourself around maybe 10 sculptures, most of them designed for you to do selfies and then an ice slide. Nice people but not worth $15.

Great experience! Andy was very entertaining! GREAT JOB

This place is below expectations but worth the money. I giggled my way through the experience and have not stopped talking about it. “You take picture here, Chiggy!!!!” I want to go back and take everyone I know.

Very messy entrance. Flies Galore. Better to just go to the Aurora Ice Museum. Much, Much Better. The window outside is broken and the staff do not understand English very well.

Quirky, thank goodness they had a sled ride.The ice carving movie was 20 min longer than needed and Ken Burns would of slit his wrists.

More fun than we expected. Worth the time and money.

Fun place. I just wished it had a little more there. But cheap 10 investment gets you cooled down.

Small intimate museum, beautiful sculptures, nice staff, just wish they had washed the Coats they offered for you to wear, mine smelled of an old man. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars

It was an experience that we will remember for better or worse. It starts off with a 20 minute video that is composed of solely pictures that are zoomed in on. Later we embarked into the cooler where we took pictures and were encouraged to slide down a ramp of ice on a sled. Andy’s enthusiasm made this aspect of the tour worth it. Lastly we watched Andy carve a flower and message into a block of ice. So fun!

Why dont more people know how this place??? Its super small, but very interesting. I throughly enjoyed myself.

View a 20-minute video about the annual ice-sculpture contest, take pictures of ice sculptures in a crowded freezer, ride the ice sled, and finally watch a brief demonstration of ice sculpture. It’s a charming bit of local culture, but overall not that impressive.

Good exhibits. Movie was low-res to be displayed on a big screen and it was slightly boring

Video at beginning was mediocre, but the actual ice sculptures and the demo make the price worth it. The host is very charismatic and makes it entertaining.

My wife and I definitely expected more. The museum has very few ice sculptures, maybe 10 that are centered around visitor interaction (sitting on, standing by for a photo, etc.) . The video shows a lot of amazing pieces that you would love to see in the museum, but thats not what they have. The video itself is very dated and mostly just a slideshow with narrative. The visit basically sells you the ice sculpting competition in March and how awesome it is....but its September

Interesting place to visit. The ice sculptures are interesting.

The film in the beginning is very low quality and Just shows some pictures of ice sculptures.The ice sculptures in the museum are not that good. Its not that expensive, but not worth your time.

Typical Museum. Lots of typical things that you would expect in a museum. It was just typical. If you like museums then youll like this place

Cute place ! Beautiful ice sculptures you can sit on for great photo ops! And you have to try the ice slide ! Fantastic!

We went in Spring of 2016 and it was incredible. My family and I had fun sliding down the slides and taking pics on the statues. We had a conversation with a long time employee Peggy about the museum. It was a memorable conversation that we still looking back upon fondly. I give this place 5 stars out of 5.

Not in the same league as Chena ice cave. Fairbanks ice museum is more hands on (interactive) than Chena.

Great ice sculptures. Kind and friendly staff.

A small place, with about 15 nice ice sculptures. A short demonstration of ice sculpturing.

Love this place, so unique. A little pricy but if you havent been before its worth it.

Good show. Well worth the money. + all of the photos at the end of the show were great to take pictures with.

This was the most endearing experience ever!

As a tourist from Florida, I found the short film and the time seeing the ice sculptures in the giant walk-in freezer very fascinating.

Great place to visit

Small but cool; no pun intended!

I was great fun took pics rode the slide

Wonderful, we loved the displays of the carvings that were done

Too much fun! Ice sculptures to explore and even touch after a short film that explains the art. Even a toboggan run (indoors!) to go down as many times as you want, all included in the price. The owner/operator will take your photos with your camera/phone while you pose. Well worth the visit.

Fun place, you watch a movie on ice sculpture before you enter the ice part, several sculptures to see and sit on. But the one thing the kids will love is the ice slide.

Presentations were low quality and quite dated. But the ice-carving experience was nice.

This sculpture is in downtown Fairbanks. Beautifully done!

Ok but I think its become an overated tourist trap.

Pretty small spot, but very unique! An older film gives you info and pictures on the art of ice scuplting.Then youre free to take some pictures in set up scenes or sled down an ice slide. Coats available to borrow too!

The hours online said they were open, we paid for a taxi to go downtown only to find the door locked and the lights off. Not exactly good for business

The video at the beginning was lackluster. It looked like it was made in Movie Maker or something. However, the actual ice sculptures were great. The ice slide was fun and there are great photo opportunities. The Chinese guide was also funny and skilled. I would recommend you go here if you are vacationing in Fairbanks.

I would be okay with a $5 admission...$15 is really too wrong for a 20 mins 140p video + outdated few ice sculptures

It is a cute little place, would reccomend first time visitors to see it. Its super kid friendly and is worth the trip. I went there as part of an art class, and it was really unique and talked alot about the ice cutting in the area.

My girlfriend and I had planned to visit the museum. With the help of GPS we were able to find the location. Unfortunately we drove around the block for a good 45 minutes before finding a parking spot, only to learn that the place had shut down. Bummer!

Not worth the $30 for two of us. FIrst 20 minutes was a film about the ice sculpting competition. Then 30 minutes walking around the sculptures. Ended with Andy showing us a simple ice sculpting.

A very nice thing to do in Fairbanks

The place is too small for 15 dollars, and you have to watch a 20 minutes of intro video before you can enter the little ice room

Lots of fun after the movie playing around in and on the ice carvings from last years international festival.

Great experience!!! Loved the show

Unfortunately it stated they were open but were closed when we got there.

It was little expensive but love the cold experience during summertime!

Interesting film followed by ice sculptures and demonstration. The ice slide is fun

Pretty and fun. Talented carvers

Very pricey for what it is. 20 minute film, and some rudimentary sculptures. None of the very cool sculptures that were posted online.

One thing you need to get used to is cost. Everything in Fairbanks is costly. That being said, the ice museum is a decent place to see if youre a tourist. You get a movie about life in Fairbanks, geared mostly around the ice Alaska event (the museums owner also owns the ice Alaska venue). If you want to see an ice slide and a few sculptures in the summertime, thats cool. Ice Alaska is better venue, if you have the opportunity to come to Fairbanks in February, its much more exciting.

We had a bus full of old folks and everyone had a good time. Most of them went down the ice slide! Good place.

Nice place and the people in charge are very nice and willing to help.

Not that big place. dos not worth the money you pay.

Interesting place. Good place to kill 1 hour in Fairbanks

ICE magic all year long. Film, professional carving display and live-interactive ice sculpture garden play. All ages fun!

Came here when my husband and I first started dating. It was nice. However, I noticed that most of the photos on Google for this place are misrepresentations of the Ice Museum. Most are photos from Chena Hot Springs, so do not be fooled! Regardless, this was a nice spot to visit. Lived in Fairbanks for almost 5 years before moving back down to the lower 48.

Smaller than I was hoping for but still interesting to see. Expect an hour total. The host was friendly and did a quick carving at the end of the show.They had coats on hand for visitors that didnt come in with parkas.

Fun place to go. Can take lots of pics and have live sculpting demonstration.

Great COLD VERY COLD

Organized creatively and clearly; friendly staff. Lots of fun.

Enjoy the ice sculptures

Enjoyable show- worth the time, amount spent

Great place

This is a must see for tourist who cant attend the ic carving competitions in North Pole and Fairbank during the winter. Informational and amazing insight into the art and what it takes to put on a ice carving competition.

Dont expect a ton of sculptures, but what they do have will be fun. There is a film about the ice sculpture competition that is held there every year.

Google says open 24hrs but we showed up Saturday (Dec 22) around 6:30pm and it was closed. We asked a neighboring store about it and they said the ice sculptures had been melted away about 2 weeks ago. We would have loved to see inside. Disappointed we didnt call before making the trip.

We were really excited to visit in December, but it was closed.

Love the ice sculptures here :-)

Went to alaska to visit my daughter they took me there andme and my grandkids had an awsome time there they have stuff for the kids to do there but make sure you dress warm

Its kind of a guided tour. you start on the hour watching a video, then you get free time to interact with some ice sculptures, then there is a ice carving demo. My favorite part is the sled run, where you get to sled down an ice chute.

One hour demo and experienceFun for kids too

If youve never seen ice sculptures, its pretty cool. After seeing the competition live, its not the same...
