Stepping through the Times Square Center doors in Dubai and into the Chillout Ice Lounge is like crossing climates: the mall’s warm bustle gives way to a measured hush and a cool, translucent world. Under carved LED-lit sculptures and ice seating, the room holds a steady −6°C; staff hand you a hooded parka, wool gloves and shoe covers, and the lounge’s lighting turns the ice into a crisp, crystalline stage.

History
Chillout Ice Lounge launched as the first permanent subzero lounge in Dubai and the wider Middle East, capitalizing on the city’s appetite for novel climate-contrast attractions.
Conservation
Maintaining subzero environments is energy intensive; favor operators that use modern, efficient refrigeration and minimize single-use plastics when consuming food and drink.
Reserve your spot on the Chillout Ice Lounge Entrance Ticket today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Use the buffer zone
Spend 5–10 minutes in the 5°C buffer zone to let your body adjust before entering the −6°C lounge.
Accept provided thermal gear
The venue supplies parkas, gloves and shoe covers—wear them as instructed to stay comfortable and protect the sculptures.
Limit phone exposure
Cold drains batteries quickly—keep electronics in an inner pocket and only remove briefly for photos.
Book off-peak times
Midday on hot outdoor days or weekday mornings are less crowded and make for a calmer visit.
Light base layer
A thin thermal layer under the provided parka adds comfort during the visit.
Closed-toe shoes
Shoes with some tread keep you steady on potentially slippery surfaces; disposable covers are offered.
Insulated gloves (personal)
If you prefer your own gloves over disposables, bring thin insulated pairs for better warmth and dexterity.
Phone with protective case
A case helps insulate your device from cold and reduces battery loss when taking photos.
