FAQs

What is Ice Alaska?

Ice Alaska is the annual Ice Art and Competition event produced by the World ICE Association each winter from mid-February through the end of March.

Where is Ice Alaska ?

We are proudly hosted at the Tanana Valley State Fairgrounds - 1800 College Road, Fairbanks, Alaska

Can I take Photos at Ice Alaska?

We encourage everyone to enjoy themselves and taking photos is a natural part of that participation. We encourage sharing photos and the use of social media, however any sales or profiting from photos is considered a copy right infringement with out written our permission.

Any requests can be applied for at [email protected]

Can I bring my dog to Ice Alaska?

Short answer is NO !!.

Please respect that this is an event involving expensive Ice Art pieces, children and volunteers.

The Ice Art produced by our Artists is extremely valuable and cannot be replaced. After the competition, many of the Artists leave to return to work and therefore are not available to fix or correct any accidents or vandalism on their artworks.

As a non-profit organisation, Ice Alaska cannot afford the liability of an unfortunate event occurring between one visitor’s animal and another’s child.

Nobody likes “yellow snow” !! Our volunteers are putting in hours at the park, usually under cold and dark conditions for the love of the event – this does not extend to cleaning up after your pet. It takes around 2 hours to view all that the park has to offer and this is a long time for an animal to restrain itself.

As per Alaska state laws, certified service animals are welcome but in-training, emotional, support or therapy animals are not.

Please refer to the following state document for any further information – https://humanrights.alaska.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/SERVICE-ANIMAL-final-5.12.21.pdf
