Ice Gallery, Lapland, Finland

2.5 (3 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #5 in Kongas Art Galleries

Popped in for a quick look

Openly - it was average. We went to the proper Snow Village later - much better. I do think that Finland needs to up its game here. 10 years ago this would have been amazing - now, with the Harbin festival in China - it is mediocre. Come on Finland - you can do better than this

Wondering, why?
We weren't sure if we were going to see an ice gallery or an ice hotel. After visiting it, we still aren't sure. The place consists of a dinning room, a bar and a chapel. All deserted and empty. Not a working bar or diner. And than there are about 10 rooms. The ice carving is beautiful, but some potential got lost on the way. It is not a working hotel, no sanitation etc., so why not make the place more as a gallery. We were told a visit would take about 1,5 h, but we were through in about 30 minutes. There is a warm cafeteria next to it.
