It is the first time that we have been to one of the snow & ice festivals (there are further ones in Japan, Norway etc) and we really enjoyed it. Tip No. 1) Buy your tickets in advance.

cold and you can't find anything warm to drink. we waited at mc donalds for 40 min to buy something to eat or some juice. there was no place to sit down. the park is big and nice, you can have a lot of fun, make sure you are wearing proper clothes

On arriving at the ice festival we were very impressed with the huge entrance. It was packed in the foyer and thought we would be queuing ages,however after queuing 5 minutes for tickets we were called to the front of the queue and got straight in. The sculptures were amazing but the park is smaller then we thought it was... More

The opening night of the Ice festival was... More

The Ice Festival has always been on my bucket list and it did not disappoint. Not much to say except "WOW" - in the sheer size of the sculptures, the multi-facited colors that kept changing and did anyone tell you it can get cold. It was minus 25 degrees celcius the evening we were there. I have been to many... More
