Located in the Mendenhall Glacier, the ice caves are a true sight to see. It sort of looks like that scene in Ice Age where Sid is looking at the things that were frozen. Except, this cave has rocks on the bottom and no dinosaurs, sloths, beasts, and UFOs?! However, I do find it a pretty cool place to go if you like the cold. If you’re into photography, these caves are an amazing sight to see. These caves are actually FREE to kids 15 and under, and only $5 for a day to tour the whole Mendenhall Glacier.
