Step into a world of ice, science, and wonder at the Glaciarium Patagonian Ice Museum — the first museum in South America entirely dedicated to glaciers and the vital role they play in our planet's climate system. Just half an hour away from the town of El Calafate, and more than just a museum, Glaciarium is an immersive journey through the frozen frontier, where cutting-edge exhibits, interactive displays, themed rooms, and stunning multimedia presentations bring the science and beauty of ice to life. 

Uncover the secrets of glacier formation, witness the awe-inspiring power of their movement, and explore the pioneering adventures of polar explorers and glaciologists. Through powerful visual storytelling, you'll gain a deeper understanding of climate change and the urgent environmental challenges facing our world today. 

Cap off your visit with an unforgettable experience at the GlacioBar, a ‘one of a kind’ ice bar set entirely in a glacial environment — from the walls and seats to the very glasses your drinks are served in. (Drinks not included.) 

Whether you're a science enthusiast, an adventurer at heart, or simply curious about our planet’s icy realms, the Glaciarium is a must-see destination in Patagonia.
