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!

Aesthetically the Snowcastle is absolutely outstanding with almost everything inside made from/carved out of sea ice. The detail on some of the carvings is truly amazing. It is a bit claustrophobic when you stop to consider how much ice is above you. We had booked to stay overnight in one of the rooms and that's where it all went wrong for me. I'm a fairly large guy (54" chest) and no matter how we tried the sleeping bags just would not zip up properly. The temperature is maintained at -5c so it wasn't long before I was freezing at the top and toasty warm at the bottom. I gave up after a couple of hours and went to sleep in the reception area. My wife managed a fitful sleep of sorts. It is worth trying for one night if that's what floats your boat but once was definitely enough for me.

It's a wooden castle, not a snowcastle. Compared to the real snowcastle which took place every year in Kemi harbor, this is a mockery towards that. The real castle was made entirely out of snow & ice! It was stunning and everyone was amazed! But this, nothing but a waste of money. There's just a big warehouse type of room and some ice sculptures, but the vibe is off completely. As I live here, I say we didn't want this. No one wanted a wooden castle instead of the original snowcastle. But, the big guys with cigars in their mouths decided this would make more money. Well, it doesn't, and never ever will replace the real deal. It's doomed. No tourist wants to see modern hell, they come to see the culture, the originality of Kemi snowcastle, the ancient times.. they want to see the old times and culture, not modern hell

The building includes a restaurant, a café, bathrooms, and souvenir shops, in addition to a castle snow 365 experienc. The experience is beautiful; everything there is made of snow, and you can try the ice slide. However, I find the price exaggerated as the ticket is 18 euros, usually covering the snow experience and snow garden. Despite the snow garden being closed, and we only saw the small snow castle, they charged the full ticket price. I believe there should be a discount when the service or the offer is not complete. Besides that, the staff is courteous and friendly.

El Castillo de Nieve de Kemi es una experiencia mágica que no te puedes perder si visitas Laponia. Desde el momento en que llegas, te sientes transportado a un cuento de hadas. El castillo está construido con nieve y hielo, y las esculturas son impresionantes. Hay un restaurante, un bar y un tobogán de hielo dentro del castillo, así como un parque de atracciones de nieve con trineos tirados por perros y renos. Lo que más me gustó: La belleza del castillo y las esculturas. El ambiente mágico y navideño. Las actividades disponibles, como el tobogán de hielo y el parque de atracciones de nieve. La amabilidad del personal. Consejos para los visitantes: Vístete con ropa abrigada, ya que hace mucho frío dentro del castillo. Lleve una cámara para capturar los recuerdos. Reserve su entrada con antelación, especialmente si viaja en temporada alta. Si tiene tiempo, visite el museo de nieve Lumilinna, que se encuentra junto al castillo. En general, recomiendo encarecidamente visitar el Castillo de Nieve de Kemi. Es una experiencia única e inolvidable que encantará a toda la familia. Aquí hay algunas ideas para mejorar su experiencia: Haga un tour guiado para aprender más sobre la historia del castillo y las esculturas. Disfrute de una cena en el restaurante de hielo. Reserve una habitación en el hotel de nieve para una experiencia verdaderamente única. Participe en una de las actividades disponibles, como un safari en moto de nieve o un paseo en trineo de perros. Estoy seguro de que disfrutará de su visita al Castillo de Nieve de Kemi.

Chinese tourist trap. We were told by very friendly staff that castle wasn't build this year due to absence of Chinese tourist. So there was one small room available only with few statues, where you could spend 10 minutes and that's it. Don't pay 10€ for it, it's not worth it. This whole place is build for Chinese and has nothing to offer, but for staff I give one more star and snowy magical atmosphere around one more. So 3 not well deserved stars for me
