Itinerary

Aurora Ice Museum

45 min Admission included

Aurora Ice Museum

Step into a year-round winter wonderland carved entirely from ice. Kept at a crisp 25°F (-7°C), the Aurora Ice Museum showcases stunning hand-carved ice sculptures, glowing ice chandeliers, frozen furniture, and detailed architectural features crafted by world-class ice artists.

Walk through beautifully lit ice rooms, admire intricate designs inspired by Alaskan culture and wildlife, and experience the unique novelty of sitting at an ice bar. Guests 21+ can enjoy the signature appletini served in a hand-carved ice glass — a true Arctic experience.

Blending art, engineering, and pure Alaskan creativity, the Aurora Ice Museum offers a one-of-a-kind indoor ice experience unlike anything else in the world. (Optional Appletini in ice glass 21+ only)
Pool House At Chena Hot Springs Resort

2 hours Admission included

Rock Pool at Chena Hot Springs Resort

The Rock Pool is the heart of Chena Hot Springs — a large, natural outdoor hot spring surrounded by rugged stone and open Alaskan sky. Heated by geothermal energy from deep within the earth, the mineral-rich waters stay comfortably warm year-round, even when winter temperatures drop far below zero.

Steam rises gently from the surface as you relax in the soothing waters, creating a peaceful contrast against crisp mountain air. In winter, snow and ice frame the pool for a true Arctic soak. In summer, the midnight sun and surrounding forest create a completely different, but equally beautiful, experience.

It’s not just a hot tub — it’s a natural geothermal oasis in the middle of Interior Alaska.
