Boston chills outThe first of its kind in New England and the world’s largest permanent indoor ice bar, Frost Ice Bar, has opened in Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace. The Frost Ice Bar is constructed and furnished entirely of ice and kept at a cool 21 degrees F. Visitors don custom-designed insulated capes and gloves to keep warm while exploring the venue’s dramatic interiors. The space, designed in partnership with Ontario-based Icecultures Inc., with artistic carvings from Brookline Ice Company, features an elaborately carved bar, chandelier, sculptures, lounge seating and paintings, all made of ice. The venue’s centrepiece bar and large-scale sculptures feature iconic Boston landmarks and historical figures, such as the city’s cherished Swan Boats, The Zakim Memorial Bridge and Paul Revere. Frost Ice Bar is open seven days a week from noon to 11:00 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase online or at the on-premise ticketing kiosk. Entry times are every 15 minutes and the duration of each guest visit is 45 minutes. Tickets prices start at $18.99 for adults and $12.99 for children ages six to 12. (http://www.FrostIceBar.com)
