Things to Do

ICEBAR Orlando

Matt and I had a great time here! The ICEBAR is exactly how it sounds: everything is made of ice. This includes the glass you drink from, the stools you sit on, and the walls surrounding you.


Once you start to shiver, they have a FIRE Bar just around the corner where your drinks bubble with dry ice or smoke from real fire. The cocktails are fun and it is a neat experience, especially to get out of the Florida heat!
