Ice Alaska - North Pole Closing Ceremony

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

The North Pole ice park is at the Santaland RV Park right next to the Santa Claus house. Just take the Richardson Hwy towards North Pole and you'll drive right by it, then take the next right off the highway.

6pm is the ceremony - hours for the day are noon - 9pm

The website notes the closing ceremony, but I'm not sure what activities they'll have. It's a "warm" day, and a fun way to get some exercise for the kids. They have a kid park with slides as does the Phillips Field Road park. In fact, if you buy a season pass at North Pole, it's going to be good come Feb 26 on opening of the Fairbanks Ice Alaska! What a deal. Stay warm!

Admission $5
Ages 6-12 $3
