What travellers are saying
- Erin CBlue Bell, PA25 contributionsWe came here with our two teenagers after riding on the formula one racetrack. We saw the wibits from the road and the kids were excited.
Once we paid to enter (about $20 for the daily) we learned they were closing in 45 minutes. I'm surprised no one told us this when we bought the entry tickets. Also, the wibits had an extra fee.
However, the kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and it was a good way to end the night.
If I came back, I might bring a raft or beach toys, but this was a spur of the moment stop.
The bathrooms were not very clean at the end of the day, but probably what you'd expect with so many people here.
Lots of people packed food, or you could get food from food trucks. We didn't do either.
Note, you also have to pay to park, $7/hr, $14/2hrs, and$20/day.Written July 26, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was 20 something dollars for a family pass (2 adults, 2 kids) plus a teenage pass. Great value for money.
The older kids spent the whole time in the diving board area. The younger one in the family pool area.
Plenty seats available. Missed opportunities here with the lack of a snack bar area and a lack of sun beds.Written August 11, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Initially I had thought it would be something similar to what they showed in the Pierce Bronson, 007 movies. Alas, it was anything but so. Still, I found what they did with the place quite impressive.
We decided to visit the village at night. That was probably a mistake. First off it took us several rounds to actually find the entrance to this place. Once we found it, we realized how inaccessible it was. They did not do a good job in cleaning up the path that leads to the ticket station. Part of it was also our fault because we did not dress up in heavy duty snow weather boots. Yes. A good pair of boots might have made a world of difference.
I thought the tickets were a tad bit expensive considering neither of us were alcoholics and they gave us vouchers for free drinks. That went to waste because they had no alternative. Bet they didn't think that one through.
But like I said, the shear size of the place and what they were able to achieve in terms of structures with just ice absolutely blew my mind. There were statues, benches, beds, rooms, hallways, a restaurant, a bar and other attractions purely made out of ice. The bedrooms in the hotel were particularly interesting. First I can't imagine myself staying there and even if I did I don't think I could sleep. We made our way through a hallway with numerous bedrooms until that took us to the bar. It had glasses made out of ice too. The bar was attached to a restaurant which had tables, chairs and all other kinds of stuff made out of ice.
So like I said, it is definitely a place worth a visit (especially if you drink). I would stick to the day time as I think it would make the visit a little more tolerable. But don't expect anything out of the James Bond movie; otherwise you will be left disappointed like me.Written March 26, 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
