It is a modern center dedicated to the dissemination of the Patagonian Ice and its glaciers, one of the few glaciological interpretation centers in the world. Designed as a field that promotes knowledge and exalts the senses, try with noble aesthetic and narrative resources, emotionally envelop the visitor. To this end, a living space was designed, full of visual and sound stimuli, interactive and entertaining, which contributes to the knowledge of the world of glaciers and enriches any visit to Patagonia.

Traveler reviews
Nice experience
Very nice experience, we look forward to seeing on the ground what they told us about the glaciers
An interesting museum
Our package included the transportation and admition to the museum. It wasn't clear what was included and it was confusing. We were hoping there will be an explanation in English but it didn't happen. The museum has an interesting information.
Scammers. Thieves.
Awful experience. We were charged $40,000 per person (museum admission only) being that the actual price of museum plus ice bar has a total value of $30,000. Tripadvisor or whoever sells this product are fraudsters. Thieves. They steal from people. Very sad.
This a waste of money...
This a waste of money The price is for them reserving a ticket, it is cheaper if you take the shuttle which is free and then buy your own ticket The organizers provided bad meetup locations Disappointing The museum itself is great
Enriching experience
Very good guides, we learned a lot. Highly recommended the experience. Don't stop by this place is really very valuable.
