About this tour
A 45-minute experience at Australia's only ice bar, where you'll explore a venue kept at -10°C year-round in central Melbourne. You'll get one cocktail or alcohol-free drink (depending on age), plus hooded cape, gloves and boots to stay warm. It's a novelty outing that works for groups, dates, or anyone curious about what drinking in a freezer actually feels like.
Highlights
- Australia's sole ice bar, maintained at minus 10 degrees Celsius
- One included cocktail or non-alcoholic drink per person
- Provided hooded cape, gloves, and insulated boots
- Fully wheelchair accessible venue and surfaces
- No personal photography allowed — focus on the experience
- Suitable for all fitness levels

What to expect
You'll arrive and be fitted with a hooded cape, gloves and boots to handle the deep cold. Once inside the -10°C bar, you'll spend the bulk of the 45 minutes exploring the frozen interior, nursing your included drink — a cocktail if you're 18 or over, or a non-alcoholic option otherwise. The novelty is the setting itself: ice sculptures, furniture and surfaces throughout. Personal photos aren't permitted, so you experience it rather than documenting it.
The venue wraps up after your time's up. Additional drinks are available to purchase if you want to stay longer or order rounds for companions.

Good to know
This suits anyone after a quick, unusual outing — solo visitors, groups, dates — rather than a lengthy night out. It's wheelchair accessible throughout, and there's no fitness requirement. The main practical note: infants aren't recommended due to the extreme cold. You must be 18+ to drink alcohol; under-18s get a non-alcoholic alternative. Don't expect a long social experience — 45 minutes is tight for a full evening. Souvenir photos and extra drinks cost extra and aren't included. Nearby public transport makes access straightforward.
