Don't miss the Magic Ice Bar -- virtual visit to the Arctic and an adventure both fantastic and far removed from everyday life. The interior is constructed of crystal-clear ice. Even the glasses at the bar are made of ice. Dramatically-lit sculptures and installations with colorful lighting enhance the ice experience. The music and the glow of candlelight create a magical atmosphere, stimulating the senses of sight, sound and touch.
