What makes it 50% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free and parents can duck into the heated lobby, yet constant sub-zero air, no stroller access, and the lack of changing stations make prolonged visits difficult.

I was looking at booking a stay here or at the least, visiting. After looking at the responses by management to those who've complained, I won't bother. It seems people with concerns are dismissed and invalidated and yet asked to "give us another try" - without an offer of a discount or any form of meaningful apology. Whoever responds to these reviews need to put a little more heart and thought in...

We went with the kids and they enjoyed the visit. It took about 1:30 hours. Better to plan with 1-2 other activities available in the area/park, which we did not do unfortunately. Bit expensive. Have full winter clothes if you visit. As expected it was so cold. We enjoyed having some juice in an ice glass and hot chocolate. Also alcoholic cocktails are available.

We stayed a night at suite 21, it was pricey but you get a hotel room (check in at 4pm, but we were able to check in by 2:30pm), an iced room (available at 9pm),...

Honestly such a unique experience! We did the day pass visit and were blown away by the sculpting technique and the skill. This felt like pure magic. The detail that went into every part of this ice hotel, chapel, bar, restaurant, slide, and exhibit was phenomenal. I cannot recommend stopping here any more highly! It wasn’t too crowded and had so many activities. There’s a winter playground tubing...
