Review: 2 Degree Ice Art

Hey guys. It has been a long time since I did a review on something. Today, I'm going to review on one of the favourite exhibitions happening in Singapore since 2013 which is the 2 Degree Ice Art Exhibition. It is located in the south of Singapore nearest to Bayfront MRT and no, it is not in any museum but it is a pop up indoor exhibition opposite Marina Bay Sands. Isn't that cool? Just imagine how cool it is to have a cold winter exhibition in an open area in such a hot tropical country like Singapore? Super cool. 

Just to let you guys know, I will not review on the ice bar because I had to rush off to somewhere and I didn't have the time to drop by the ice bar at the exhibition. But, I heard you could smash the ice mugs after you've drink it. 

On Sunday, my boyfriend decided to treat me to this exhibition because I've always wanted to go to this exhibition like almost every single time I had to talk about it and get jealous when someone posts a picture of themselves over there. Thank you my beloved boyfriend. I love you. 

If I'm not wrong the exhibition was supposed to end earlier this year but they extended the closing date to 22 June 2014. Okay so, first and foremost, if you're taking the MRT, you would be confused on where to go. After me and my boyfriend alighted at Bayfront MRT, we were told by the website that we have to exit by exit A and after we got out of the MRT, we were lost. On the website, they stated the exhibition is next to Bayfront MRT so we were puzzled on where the exhibition was. To clear the air, the exhibition is on the left side of Bayfront MRT so when you are out of exit A of Bayfront MRT, turn left and walk ahead and you'll see a pop up indoor exhibition. (It is very obvious after you walk ahead) 

We didn't have to order the tickets when we got there because boyfriend bought it online so I guess that's a bonus waiting time for us. He-he! We were issued winter jackets which is a must to rent for $5 each or you'll be freezing in there. There are staffs that will issue your size as soon as they see your body size. I honestly don't know mine though. What I liked was that they even helped to put it on and that was such a nice gesture from the staffs there. Thumbs up from me. 

For gloves wise, there isn't any gloves issued for you but it can be purchased at $2 per pair or can be brought along if you have one at home. Afterwards, me and my boyfriend were told to take a picture before going in. 

Let me tell you guys. Get ready for the coldness. It is -15 Degrees Celsius. YES -15 degree Celsius!

Upon entering the exhibition, we were stunned by the beautiful ice carvings of different country's landmarks. The first landmarks we saw were from Singapore such as the Singapore Flyer and the statues of Sir Stamford Raffles. I was definitely more impressed as soon as I walked in further into the exhibition. What caught my eyes the most was the ice carving of the Eiffel Tower. It was so beautifully done. There were landmarks from India, Japan and China too! There were also carvings of Dinosaurs, Santa Claus and many more! Not only that, the coldness started to kick in after few minutes of entering. 

There is a playground too for visitors of all ages. I guess this is the main attraction for visitors there because mainly we get to experience a playground carved out of ice. Isn't that amazing? The playground surface was so smooth which I thought was so impossible to carve. Also, the height of the playground is around two storey height so you don't have to worry about it. There is two narrow slide which I think is appropriate for children and another one wide slide which you have to get a tubing in order for you to slide because it has a bump on the slide and you might not want to get your butt hurt from it. 

Honestly, me and my boyfriend enjoyed it a lot even though it was a short walk around and we didn't spend a lot of time there but what was important was the fun we had. Thumbs up for the excellent exhibition and the excellent service. I give it 10/10! I definitely loved the picture the photographer took for us. In case if you guys want to buy the picture, it is for $20 each and $30 for two. Isn't that amazing? What's more interesting is that you can choose the background of your choice! 

Other than that, there is a food exhibition and toilets. But, I'm unsure whether the food are halal for Muslim visitors so I guess those Muslim visitors could try and ask them? Besides all of these, if you guys wish to take a picture, it is difficult because of the gloves so it is quite troublesome to take out your gloves to take a picture with the super cold temperature that will freeze your fingers so since my boyfriend had a bluetooth camera shutter along with him, I guess we were lucky. 

Just to let you guys know, this exhibition is like any typical museum exhibition where people get to showcase their art talents and don't expect Snow City in there because after all it is an exhibition. Spend your time by admiring the carvings they've made because it is so beautiful. Trust me! And having your nose numb and cold in the cold temperature is definitely worth it! It is also a great time for families, couples and friends to bond. 

The exhibition will end on 22nd of June 2014. So, do head there before it ends because it is an experience that you will never forget and a chance you will never want to miss!
