Every November, ice sculptors from all over the region make their way to Kirovsk to chisel into existence the snowy halls and tunnels of the Snow Village, wowing visitors with ice sculptures and annually changing themed displays carved into walls – from snowy pharaohs in chariots to fairy-tale creatures.
For extra thrills, ride a giant banana attached to a snowmobile or marry your sweetie in the Ice Chapel. The Snow Villlage is located just beyond the botanical gardens.
