Explore Ice

Tours

Do you know how crystal clear ice is produced? Have you watched a skilled ice sculptor in action? Did you know the technology used today in this centuries-old art form rivals that found in the auto and aircraft industries?

Chances are you didn’t and that is why Iceculture is now offering tours of the Iceculture studio. Last year, tours proved exceptionally popular especially among church groups, business associations, and service clubs. Bus tours operators are keen to bring in visitors as part of mystery tours or full days outings that explore this area of the countryside.

Iceculture has developed an experience that packs a 90 minute tour of our facility with a mountain of information. Visitors will see how crystal clear  ice blocks are manufactured, an ice sculptor at work, observe computer-controlled equipment precision cutting ice components and they will be shown interesting ice projects being developed. 

Finally, they will get the ‘ice experience’ in a real ice lounge built at the facility and then hear a presentation of some of the projects that Iceculture has completed in North America, Europe and the Middle East – and about the cultural, political and logistical challenges the company has had to face along the way as a leader in a unique industry.

As one excited visitor told us, ‘I cannot believe that a small company in the heart of the country can produce so much excitement around the world. It’s incredible’!

Put a group together and plan a visit to a unique business!
