Ice Museum
Once you get your online tickets, you’re directed to meet at the “Activities Center” where the tour guide leads you back across the ice covered parking lot to the museum. There are approximately 50 people waiting to get into the museum. Warm parkas are provided if you need (but, eewww-have they been washed any time this year????). The inside is much colder than you might think, and dark. There are no windows and only a few lights. The ice sculptures are beautiful, but the detail is lost in the dimly lit building. The appletini was, meh. You have the option to leave after about 30 minutes if you are too cold. I left, I had my martini, took my pics and had other things to do.

Not worth $30!
I would only go if admission price was included in an excursion. We went March 31. Admission to the museum was only every two hours starting at 11 AM. The last one was at 7 PM and there was a group of about 20 people. We had to stand around waiting for the host to give his spiel about the sculptures before we were allowed to walk around and take pictures. When we finally got seated and had our apple martinis poured, there was very little time left. We felt sorry for about five or six people waiting to get seated. They had about five minutes to suck down their martinis. The highlight of this tour was the delicious apple martinis. Therefore, I recommend paying for the martinis but not paying for the price of admission. Why not have more frequent admission times with fewer people? Have the host answer questions after martinis are poured!
