Captain Frosty World (Parque Tematico Mundo Gelado) Tours

Escape the tropical sunshine of northern Brazil and plunge into the icy climate of Captain Frosty World (Parque Tematico Mundo Gelado)—an ice museum and bar where everything is sculpted from ice. Here, temperatures plummet as low as -4ºF (-20ºC) in order to prevent ice sculptures of world-famous landmarks from melting.

The Basics
You can explore Captain Frosty World for up to 20 minutes, during which you’ll have time to delve into ice chambers, marvel at ice sculptures that depict the Eiffel Tower and Rio’s Christ the Redeemer, and pose for photos on an ice chair or ice bed. Standard admission tickets include access to Captain Jacks museum, which exhibits a collection of miniature ships and naval memorabilia.

Captain Frosty World is home to an Ice Bar, which opens in the evening and serves a range of alcoholic and soft drinks in ice glasses.
