The Aurora Ice Museum is an incredible feat of engineering that stays at a chilly 25 degrees Fahrenheit all year round. In the bitterly cold interior Alaskan winters, this can feel quite comfortable for enjoying a drink.

Each Appletini is shaken and poured into an individually crafted ice glass.

The glasses are created fresh daily for the tours and used only once. The ice is harvested from pure local Alaskan sources for crystal clear ice.

All the ice sculptures are created on site using the workshop of tools in the front of the building. World champions Steve & Heather Brice are the resident ice sculptures who continually refresh the space with amazing works of ice art.
