How long should I spend at XtraCold Icebar?

XtraCold Icebar is a quick, fun stop and a great spot for photos. You’ll need about 45 minutes to 1 hour for the full experience. You’ll start with 15 to 20 minutes in the warm lounge to check in, gear up, and enjoy your first drink. Then you’ll head into the ice chamber for another 20 to 30 minutes to take photos, explore the frozen setup, and use your drink tokens. If you hang around for more pictures or an extra drink, plan for around an hour total.

Frequently asked questions about XtraCold Icebar opening hours

Is the Icebar open on public holidays?

Yes, the Icebar is generally open on most public holidays, especially during peak tourist seasons. Holiday hours may differ slightly, so checking the day’s timings in advance helps avoid surprises.

Do I need to book Icebar tickets in advance?

Booking in advance is strongly recommended because time slots can sell out quickly, especially on weekends and during peak season. Pre-booking also helps you skip long queues and secure your preferred entry time.

When is the Icebar least crowded?

The Icebar is usually quieter on weekdays, particularly in the early afternoon. If you want a relaxed visit with fewer crowds and shorter waits, avoid weekend evenings and peak summer months.

Are evening visits busier than daytime visits?

Yes. Evening slots tend to attract more visitors since many people pair the Icebar with nightlife plans. Daytime visits, especially earlier ones, offer a calmer and more comfortable experience.

Do guided experiences have different entry times?

All Icebar visits run on fixed time slots, whether you book standard entry or a combo ticket. You must enter at your assigned slot, and late arrivals may need to wait for the next available time.

Is public transport available during late-night hours?

Yes, Amsterdam’s trams, buses, and night services operate around the Icebar area. Even late-night visitors can rely on public transport options to return to nearby neighbourhoods or the city centre.

Does the Icebar have special seasonal hours?

Seasonal adjustments can occur, especially during summer peaks and winter holidays. Summer may have extended hours, while quieter winter months may run shorter schedules. Always check the day’s times before your visit.
