One of the attractions at Chena Hot Springs is an ice bar. You go in in a group and you get maybe an hour to hang out. They only serve appletinis, and they cost $20 a pop, so unless that is on your bucket list, just pay the entry fee, also $20.
We were waiting outside with our group of about 20 people, and they told us there would be a delay. A woman in the group before us had tried to go into the igloo and hit her head, and they were cleaning up the blood. None of us asked if she was ok or expressed any concern at all. Instead, every single one of us burst out laughing. I feel a little guilty about that, but every single person I have told this story to also laughs.
Lots of arches, flowers encased in ice and globes

There are also two beds in there if you want to spend the night but I have no idea how much it costs and no one seemed that interested. But I liked the polar bear bed.
