Ice Bar in Stockholm

We will be in Stockholm for 2 days and am looking for things to do there. Have read about the ice bar there. Anyone been there? Is it worth the cost of admission? Thanks y'all!

Having been to a couple ice bars I'd say that they're not that exciting. It's worth going to only if you personally think that having a drink while wearing a parka in a pseudo-igloo is worth paying for. For me, a one minute peek would have sufficed. The ice hotel however, is rather special and worth visiting.

I would spend my money taking one of the city tours which combines the bus and boat trip.

I visited the Ice Bar in Stockholm last summer and it was a neat experience, but I don't need to go again.

The best part was having all the pictures of us with our parkas on drinking out of blocks of ice.

If you do go make sure you bring socks/wear sensible shoes. I seem to recall we had to swing in to H&M for a friend to buy socks ...

I've been to the ice bar in Stockholm and it's a fun thing to do but I agree that once is enough. However, it'll probably be a part of the trip that you won't forget since you don't find ice bars on every corner. Go for it!
