2.Ice Bar Entry with Warm Winter Gear and Drink

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 162 reviews · 1 hour · from $35Top rated

Spend an hour at Queenstown Ice Bar, beside the Skyline Gondola, in a room built from almost 30 tonnes of hand-carved ice. You’ll get a winter coat, gloves, and boots if needed, then choose a cocktail or mocktail, with the drink included depending on your ticket. Sculptures, music, photos, and occasional ice-cup smashing make this more than a quick drink.

“The whole experience was amazing!! The staff were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful, and it was wonderful to meet people from around the world. The two complimentary cocktails in ice glasses that you get to break when you finish also adds to the overall experience!”
