Sorry, we do not allow any outside decor in the igloos.

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.

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.

You may bring your own music, but it must be at a quiet level and cannot be loud enough to be heard by other surrounding igloos. Our staff will monitor this and will ask that you adjust it if needed. Please be respectful of your neighboring Igloo parties.

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.

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

At this time, you are not required to wear masks. This is subject to change.

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.

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 two small, electric heaters 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.

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.

There is no age limit.

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.

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!

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 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.

Yes! We will clean, sanitize, disinfect with microbial spray, and air out each Igloo in between each use.

Every igloo experience includes a private igloo for up to 8 guests for 2 hours, hot chocolate by request, and your choice of food and beverages. The minimum spend on Friday-Saturday is $200. On Sunday-Thursday the minimum spend is $150. On Fridays & Saturdays, the initial fee is $100. On Sunday through Thursday, the initial fee is $50. The fee will cover the 2 hour igloo rental, one appetizer, hot chocolate upon request and dessert. You have an additional $100 to spend on any of the food and beverage offered for the igloos in order to hit your minimum.Tax and 20% service fee will be added to all final bills.
