when you arrive at the Hurtigruten quay in Svolvaer you can see a sign for Magic Ice on a warehouse and it doesnt look very impressive, but we took the plunge since we had 30 minutes or so to kill and we are delighted we did - it was actually really good. Walk into reception where you are greeted with... More

The ice sculptures are impressive and well presented in an atmospheric way. It's located right next to the ferry port and obviously relies heavily on tourists visiting while their ferry is docked for a couple of hours.

We visited Magic Ice in a bit of desperation for something to do in March when lots of places are shut. The idea is good but the sculptures looked as if they had melted a bit and then re frozen. I think it was 150 NOK each and then you can order a drink for when you get inside. The... More

I have visited the Magic Ice many many times, together with tourists. It's a great place with really amazing sculptures and you can get lost in the huge warehouse only to end up face to face with, Thor, some fishermen or cute fishies. The ambient music is pretty nice and the small sip of kråkebær liquor tastes good. I would... More

It's a small exhibition on the pier, it is also a bit expensive, but everything in Norway is. The sculptures are really good and very different, worth a visit. The staff are also very helpful

Magic Ice is basically a large room filled with ice sculptures and an ice bar. You pay around £10 for entrance fee and decide at the beginning what drink you want and pay for that in advance. You then go through to see the sculptures and pick up your drink when it's been made for you. The sculptures are a... More

Defiantly worth a stop.. Ice sculptures are great and worth taking time to explore. Definitely not huge but lots to see.

Worth a visit - clever and entertaining. I have seen better ice sculptures but none that are so novel. Ice drinking glasses, walk-in bottle, ice seats & a very large hand!

I have been to a ice bar in Olso before and that wasn't so impressive! This one has several statues and is quite large. When ever you feel the cold is to much you can always go out to heat yourself in the souvenir shop and then going back in. The bar inside is cool and the lightning is great.... More
