Pro Tips

  • Dress in layers. A thick coat alone won't cut it. Bring thermal underwear, a hat, gloves, and a scarf.
  • Buy a pair of ice cleats for your shoes. Sidewalks are slippery for months. You'll walk much easier.
  • Book Ice and Snow World tickets online. Go after 4 pm to see the lights. Bring hand warmers and a power bank.
  • Skip the overpriced food inside the ice park. Eat at Central Street instead. Try the candied hawthorn and Russian bread.
  • Take the metro. Line 1, 2, and 3 cover most tourist spots. Taxis take forever in the snow.
  • Your phone battery will die fast in the cold. Keep it in an inside pocket close to your body. Use a portable charger.
