IceSpace Potters Field, London, SE1 2JR - billed as the planet's first ever five-star Arctic attraction, it opened to the public in London on 1 May 2006 and closed barely three weeks later on 20 May 2006. It was due to run up to 30 June 2006 but closed early apparently to lack of ticket sales.

IceSpace is this summer's coolest visitor attraction in London

IceSpace is a seriously cool, world touring arrangement of ice sculpture, illumination, technology, music, cuisine, visual arts and performance amd promises to be a sensational interactive ice experience. In addition there is the Ice Space Ice Rink to enjoy!

Everything will be created by the world's leading ice sculptors on a scale never seen outside frozen climates and the Arctic Circle including an outdoor ice rink. IceSpace is made out of more than 2,000 blocks of pure ice representing over 200 tons of uncut frozen water. The ice is shipped all the way from Canada and it takes 25 experienced ice sculptors and structure builders a total of three months to prepare and craft the IceSpace experience within a temperature-controlled environment of between -3 and -5 degrees Celsius. Therefore please note that warm clothing is recommended and closed toe footwear is essential.

Change worlds without changing time zones!

What is IceSpace? It is your chance to experience what few others have. Feel what Edmund Hilary felt as he fearlessly scaled Everest in Nepal. Brave what Jack London braved as he traversed the frozen wilderness in Alaska. See what Eddie the Eagle saw as he roared off the ski jump in Calgary. But IceSpace is even better than all of these adventures because you'll be hanging out in style and comfort. IceSpace is, in short, the perfect union of extreme conditions and high culture.

The world's largest ice attraction outside of the arctic climate

IceSpace has created a new dimension of entertainment that is open to people of all ages and walks of life... Hear the crunch of powdery snow underfoot, reach out and touch the ice sculptures, feel the sheer enormity of the space. Pull up a shaved ice stool, savour the hot cocktail served by one of our Ice Angles, and prepare to be amazed. All of your senses will be stretched to their limits as the non-stop evocative action of IceSpace envelops you. Music will blare, lights will blaze, frozen contortionists will bend. Daring performances of unmatched quality will surround and astound you. IceSpace is the ultimate thermal inertia between man and nature; together we embody the struggle of existence, defying normal convention, while uniting two polar opposite worlds.

It is advised that you leave at least one and a half hours space between the start of your Ice Space session and the start of your Ice Rink session if skating after your Ice Space experience.
