Universal Epic Universe Ticket Promo
For those in the know about Orlando, it is hard to miss the hype around Universal Epic Universe. This park is not only a massive new addition to the Universal Orlando Resort, but to all of Orlando and its tourism. ICEBAR Orlando is joining in on their celebration, offering those with a Universal Epic Universe ticket a chance to visit the ICEBAR experience for cheap or even free (depending on the day).
According to ICEBAR Orlando, “All guests who present an Epic Universe ticket at the front door will receive free entry into ICEBAR Sunday–Thursday and half-off entry ($10) on Friday and Saturday. (Entry into Fire Lounge is always free!)”
With a standard closing time of 12 to 2 a.m. each week, this allows for late night drinks and fun after a day of exploration at Universal Epic Universe. Universal Epic Universe is approximentally a 10-15 minute drive to ICEBAR Orlando.
Tiki Fun with ICEBAR Beach Club
According to ICEBAR Orlando, “Guests will drift into ICEBAR Orlando’s island paradise surrounded by spectacular themed ice sculptures including a new tiki throne, lush palms, colorful surfboards, and more!” This tiki inspired beach club is part of their long-running ICEBAR experience which has over 70 tons of hand-carved ice.
What is an ICEBAR?
The ICEBAR Experience is a below-freezing step into a hand-carved, indoor ice bar area. Here guests can drink out of ice cocktail glasses or take shotskis. Stepping into the cold from the heat of Florida can be a lot, so jackets and gloves are provided. While this is a bar, during select hours, kids can visit.
ICEBAR Orlando states, ” Open since October 2008, ICEBAR Orlando houses the largest permanent ICEBAR in the world with over 70 tons of hand-carved ice. Upon arriving, guests enter through the room temperature Fire Lounge hot with DJs, dancing and delicious food. Then, they are then welcomed into our unique arctic experience in the ICEBAR with warm coats and gloves. Our team is always available to take complimentary pictures while guests enjoy the fabulously frozen ice sculptures and sip one of ICEBAR Orlando’s many delicious cocktails chilled perfectly and served in custom ice glasses…Guests 21+ are welcome at all times, while guests 8-20 years of age are welcome between 5pm-9pm.”
“With the huge grand opening of our neighboring theme park, we are joining in on the excitement and bringing the energy to our own special celebration,” says Owner Thom Kerr. “We wanted to give our guests a unique, fun and highly memorable way to continue their experience into the evening. Summer is always an exciting time to visit International Drive, but this year more than ever we want to give our guests a unique and Epic experience when visiting ICEBAR Orlando. We are also thrilled to debut our brand-new Tiki Themed ICEBAR Beach Club, a frozen paradise that will be the perfect place to chill this summer.”
