Orlando Polar Bear Club

On Saturday, December 5, ICE! will open an hour early to welcome guests as they become official members of the Orlando Polar Bear Club. Afterwards, participants will be recognized at a "warm-up" coffee and cocoa reception, during an official induction into the club.

The special Orlando Polar Bear Club ticket is $21.99 plus tax, and includes the "after-glow" warm-up reception and a commemorative certificate, plus a chance to go through ICE! again later that morning, fully clothed, to better enjoy the artistry at a slower (and warmer) pace.

Throughout the United States, many Polar Bear Clubs raise money for local chapters of Special Olympics. In that tradition, $7 for every full-price ticket sold will go to Special Olympics Florida.

What to wear: Um, a swimsuit! What else? To get the full Orlando Polar Bear Club experience, you'll want to walk through the ICE! attraction in your swimsuits. But, your suit must be in good taste — no thongs, please. (As an alternate to a swimsuit, you are welcome to wear summer clothing, such as shorts and a t-shirt... but, for the full chill, we encourage swimwear!)

Be sure to wear your swimsuits under your clothing. Restrooms are available in close proximity to ICE! for changing, however, additional changing areas will not be available.

All guests are required to wear shoes inside ICE! Guests will not be permitted to enter without shoes.

Safety: This is not a contest, and you should expect to spend only a few minutes inside ICE! After all, it's nine degrees in there, and you're not a real polar bear!

To ensure that you have an opportunity to enjoy the true artistic beauty of ICE!, your Orlando Polar Bear Club ticket will allow you to revisit the attraction again on the morning of December 5, 2009. This time fully clothed!

Freeze the moment: Don't leave home without a camera! You'll want to freeze this moment for sure!

Wave to your friends at home: For friends and family at home, wave to the cameras! We have two live webcams inside ICE! for them to watch you take the plunge. It is also possible that there will be media present to cover the event, and you could end up on television.
