] you can also spend 30-45 minutes in the ‘Some Like It Cold’ bar. From the benches and tables to the bar and the glasses, everything here is made of ice. There are also ice sculptures, such as an open fireplace and a statue of Marilyn Monroe. The interior will be redesigned twice a year.
The entrance price includes a drink, as well as the use of a special thermocoat and and a pair of gloves.
