How much is an ice sculpture?
We are keeping it simple.
Ice Sculptures from ICE TRADE are $1,000 per block of ice used. We do not charge more even if your design is more involved. Ice Trade only charges you for the ice you get. We are a premium service so you can expect the best experience all the way around.
RAW ICE BLOCKS are 10” x 20” x 40” - Finished 1 block sculptures average about 3’ tall and 2’ or 3’ wide depending on the design.
Delivery within 50 miles, sculpture setup, battery powered RGB led lighting and drain gear are always included in our per block price point. The price p.b. will decrease the more blocks you add to your order.
