The ice bar will include all the frozen beauty of the originals, where everything is made of 100 percent of ice, including the bar, tables, benches, walls and even the glasses guests drink from.

Minus5 Ice Bars are designed to reflect the personality of the city where they operate. In Vegas, the décor features iconic carvings such as the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign, in New York City there is a “Lady Liberty” and Orlando has taken this a step further by including a variety of iconic Florida images including hand-carved palm trees, penguins, space shuttles and a wall that features a variety of frozen sea creatures.

“Minus5 is more than a bar; it’s an attraction that celebrates ice as art and is an entertainment experience that our guests come back for time-and-time again,” added Bowman. “We are pleased to announce that our Orlando location, much like our New York location, is also kid friendly offering a discounted admission for visitors between the ages of 7 and 15 daily before 9 p.m.”

Basic Admission is $17 for those 16 and older, and $10 for those under 16. The price includes the use of a parka and gloves. They are open Sunday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to midnight, and from 1 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. They also have a package which includes two cocktails (or mocktails) for $37.

If you’d like to upgrade to the VIP package for $55, you get to use a fur coat, gloves, one drink and a souvenir hat. For $75, you get all that plus a framed 5×7 photo and two drinks.
