Before you book
- Book the cold room by name. Choose "Luxury Ice Suite". Many visitors only buy a day ticket to look around.
- Plan one night in the ice. Most people sleep one night in the cold room and the other nights in a warm room.
- Ask about what the website doesn't say. It doesn't mention: room temperature, bathroom in the cold room.
- Check the dates. Ice and snow rooms exist only in the cold months, and the opening date moves with the weather.
