Before you book

Who is this Queenstown ice bar best for?

It is particularly suitable for couples, groups of friends, families and travellers short on time who want an unusual activity in Queenstown without committing half a day.

This is not a cultural visit or an adventure activity: the appeal is stepping into the frozen setting, enjoying the included drinks, seeing the sculptures and taking memorable photos.

When might Minus 5 ICE BAR not be worth it?

It is not the cheapest option if you simply want a drink, because the price also covers the purpose-built ice venue, warm clothing and two included beverages.

If you are particularly sensitive to cold, bear in mind that temperatures can drop to -10°C. Some reviews also note that the venue may feel crowded at busy times.
