Pro tips to help you make a pick

Use your first drink token in the warm lounge for cocktails—inside the ice chamber, only beer, shots, and juice are available.

Keep hold of your ice glass inside the chamber, as you’ll reuse it for both included drinks.

Ask staff about the explorer story if you’re interested in Dutch history—they love sharing extra details.

Take advantage of the in-house photographer for fun group photos—these make great souvenirs.

Warm up in the lounge before and after your ice chamber visit to stay comfortable throughout the experience.

*The Metamorphoses*, which we're currently studying in class. I found these exhibits very informative, even though we've already translated it in Latin class. Now I'll be able to surprise my teacher with this, and maybe he'll even incorporate it into his lessons.

It truly is such an amazing experience. Often when I see the word 'immersive' I shy away as it never lives up to expectations. Amaze goes beyond your expectations. It so imaginative and unique and coming from the Raves back in the 90's, it felt great to be back. A must do experience!!
