The SnowCastle of Kemi

I visited The SnowCastle of Kemi in Finland toward the end of the season, and it was an awesome experience! Some of the sculptures had started to melt sadly (a few missing arms and smaller details), but it didn’t take away from how incredible the whole setup was! They had an awesome ice slide that both the kids and adults were overjoyed with sliding down! It was definitely a highlight to see all the happy faces! The merchandise shop was impressive too, with lots of great souvenirs including clothing and home items. A great variety! They also have a cafe offering drinks and snacks. I almost missed the actual SnowCastle! It’s a short walk across the parking lot from the main building (easy to overlook if not paying attention because it looks like a warehouse). The driveway was very slippery with black ice when we visited, and there were several buses coming in and out. I made sure to tread extra slow. Thankfully, I wore some really good snow boots! Overall, it was a really cool experience! Unique, fun, and worth the visit!

Really unique and nice snow and ice castle experience to visit. This is also nice place for adults to visit. Very good value for money. No waiting lines or rush on a week day in February. With the same ticket you can visit both the outdoor winter snow castle and the year around open indoor ice castle 365 experience. Also very nice restaurant and cafeteria. Recommended place to visit if you happen to be near city of Kemi.

So disappointed with our visit, the snow castle was just a pile of snow you could enter… my four year old daughter liked the slides but the slides in a normal park is for free. The ice part is ok but small, if you gonna mark yourself as a snow castle, go big or just stop. Look at my pictures and you are really not missing anything.

The SnowCastle of Kemi can be part of your winter wonderland experience. The intricate ice sculptures were fascinating to see, each one a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. The highlight was definitely the giant ice slide, which was incredibly fun and added a playful touch to the enchanting atmosphere. A truly unique and memorable experience.

The place is nice though I didn't find it worth it to visit with talking that long ride This place need tickets too Going 114 km from rovaniemi isn't worth riding if you're going just for to see castle only

We had to take a stop at here as part of the ice breaker cruise. The cruise was fantastic. If you are not coming to this place due to the icebreaker tour do not come.

Fun place to explore. Be sure to go down the slide, sit on the throne, and enjoy a cup of hot berry tea. Be sure to pay the extra fee to look at gem stones as that exhibit is very impressive.

The castle is incredible; it feels like the closest thing to experiencing the Frozen movie in real life. Every summer, they melt it down and rebuild it in a new style, which is quite impressive.
