Each person in your party will receive 1 glass of their choice. 1 glass per person attending the Igloo Party:
- 16oz Tall-Boy Can Glass
- 10oz Pub Glass
- 16oz Red Camper Mug
- 16oz Blue & Green Rustic Mug

Each rental lasts 2 hours. We ask that your party arrive 10 minutes early to check-in prior to your reserved time. This will give you the full amount of time in your igloo. We prefer that your entire party arrive before seating your igloo. This allows us to seat you all at once and limit the number of times the door to your igloo will need to be opened, thus keeping you and the igloo warmer for longer.

If your party shows up late for your reservation, we cannot extend the length of your rental. The igloos are in high demand and are generally booked back-to-back to allow as many guests to enjoy them as possible. As an example, if you show up 30 minutes late, your rental would be for 1 hour and 30 minutes instead of 2 hours. Partial refunds will NOT be issued for parties arriving late.

Each igloo seats up to 8 guests. It is soft patio, lounge-style seating, and there is a coffee table provided for guests to sit around. It is set up for sitting together, sharing food and drink, spending time with each other, away from everyone in your own little bubble….err, igloo!

Sorry, every igloo rental and package is the same price regardless of the size of your party. If your party is smaller than 8, we’d suggest inviting more friends.

There is no age limit.

No. Any guests found smoking, vaping, or the like will be asked to leave immediately along with their entire party, with no refund granted. Open flames of any kind are not allowed on the patio whatsoever.

They are “heated,” but you will be sitting on an outdoor patio, in the Winter months in Iowa, separated from the cold winter by a thin “igloo” membrane. Each igloo includes a small, electric heater that will take the edge off of the chill, but please come dressed for a winter activity. It may take a bit of time after the door is opened to reheat your igloo. The igloos also include small windows for ventilation if desired. Please come dressed in hats, gloves, and a few layers that you can adjust to your own individual comfort level. Feel free to bring a blanket too, if you’d like. Any heater moved during your stay may result in a charge for damage to the shell or frame. If you require assistance with your heating unit, please ask a Barn Town employee for assistance.

Yes! Every igloo contains a medical grade air purifier inside, and we will clean, sanitize and air out each Igloo in between each use.

In the case of extreme cold, blizzard, or dangerous icy conditions, we may need to cancel reservations to ensure safety and your comfort level. In these cases, you will be notified via email about an option to reschedule your booking or receive a complete refund. We will make every attempt to make the cancellations well in advance of your reserved time but reserve the right to make cancellations in the case of emergency weather conditions at any time.

Sorry, you’ll need to leave your furry friends at home. Pets are not allowed in the igloos.

The igloos are strong, engineered structures that are designed to withstand 50+ mph winds and 90+ pounds of static snow load. That being said, they are constructed of lightweight materials that can be damaged by impact, heat, or puncture. We ask that you take precaution when moving in the igloos and refrain from touching the walls or grabbing the frame. The igloos are inspected and cleaned after every party, and a fee may be added should any evidence of damage or stolen items are noticed after your visit.

For the enjoyment of the guests in neighboring igloos, we request that you do not add your own soundtrack to the experience.

All igloos are welcome to use the indoor restrooms inside of the taproom at Barn Town. We’d recommend using the facilities before getting seated in your igloo to avoid unnecessary opening of your door.

With the igloos having a 12-foot diameter, your party should be composed of the type of people who aren’t too weirded out inside a full elevator. There will be a lot of sitting around in a circle watching other people eat and drink, so some pleasant conversation would be a great next step. Stay off of your phones, and enjoy each other’s company! You could also bring a game to play, but make sure it’s a game that you don’t need table space for, or standing and moving around for.

No outside food, desserts, or beverage will be allowed in the igloos.

In addition to the $100 base package that you select when you book your igloo, an igloo server will stop by periodically to see if you would like to add any more food or beverages to your tab.

No. The food and beverage options for the igloos were designed specifically to be shared amongst a small group, in cozy quarters, on an outdoor patio, in Winter in Iowa. Because there is no dining table, all food items are finger-friendly and served on platters.

Each igloo rental is for 2 hours within a pre-determined time block, giving you ample time to finish any food or drink you ordered in advance. All food and beverage that is pre-ordered will be ready for you when arriving at your igloo. You may order more add-on food during your stay, but additional orders should be made in the first 20 minutes of your visit to give you ample time to finish your items. In the unlikely case that you do not finish in your 2-hour stay, we will do our best to accommodate your group inside Barn Town by moving your food and drink indoors, depending on capacity. We strongly recommend planning ahead and finishing your food and drink inside your igloo, and of course, you are welcome to visit our bar or stay for dinner after your igloo visit as well.

We cannot remove any of the food or drink items you selected when booking online; however, it is possible to add on additional food and beverage packages when you arrive. For food, we recommend deciding if you want more food within the first 20 minutes or so of your stay. Due to the availability of some items (mostly food), we may not be able to fulfill your request. The best way to guarantee your food and beverage is to order them when completing your initial booking.

Yes, as long as it is 48 hours before your reservation start time and we have additional booking slots open, you may change your reservation. If we do not have additional times available, you may request a full refund if it is before 48 hours.

The payment of the $100 base package and remaining minimum, plus tax and 20% service fee, will be taken at the end of the 2-hour timeframe before leaving your igloo. All payments will be handled by your igloo server.

For the simple fact that splitting up a bill multiple ways will inevitably take time away from you and your party enjoying your time in your igloo, so we ask that all parties are under one bill. Remember, there's always Venmo and PayPal for that one friend who always tries to get out of paying you back!
