About

Chena Hot Springs Resort** is home to the world’s *largest* year-round ice environment, the Aurora Ice Museum! It was created from over 1,000 tons of ice and snow, all harvested at the resort. The museum was completed in January 2005 and stays a cool 25° Fahrenheit (-7° Celsius) inside. Keeping the museum icy cold in the heat of summer comes from the patented absorption chiller, the first of its kind in the world used for this purpose!

Our Aurora Ice Museum Tour last for 45 minutes, starting at our activity center 5 minutes before your tour time. Your guide will take you to the Aurora Ice Museum building and give you instructions before entering. You will be able to pick up a parka before you enter free of charge. Your guide will go over some of the iconic ice sculptures and interesting facts about the museum before allowing you to free roam and take pictures! You can join us at our ice bar and enjoy your pre-purchased Appletini delicately served in our famous ice glass.
