Chena Hot Springs Resort has actually been around for 115 years, and they encourage you to come and relax in their beautiful hot springs. In January of 2005, their ice museum was completed and became open to the public.
This museum is actually the world's largest year-round ice environment.

They used over 1,000 tons of ice and snow to build all the magnificent ice sculptures and designs you will admire once you enter. And all of this ice and snow was harvested right on the property, and brought into the museum!
The Aurora Ice Bar is completely carved out of ice, with cool neon lighting shining through.

There are plenty of ice stools for you to rest on, and when you start the tour you will be given a large parka to use to ward off the cold. The interior stays at a steady 25 degrees all year long.
