Ice Patch Hollow is a make-believe village in the Antartica where Joey the Penguin and his friends live and play. Created through a story that was self-published by local author, Brian Hiltz, Ice Patch Hollow was designed with children in mind so that they could come to a fantasy world where fun and exercise awaits all.

Ice Patch Hollow is located at the Sunnyside Mall in Bedford at 1595 Bedford Highway Road.

Yes. For health and safety reasons, socks must be worn at all times if you are on the playground. You can wear your shoes only if you stay within the dining and admissions area, and the bathroom and party rooms area. Read our full playground rules.

We offer two All-Day Pass price points for toddlers between the ages of 1 and 4 and children aged 5 to 12, and Party Room bookings for special occasions and birthdays.

We allow children between 1 and 12 years old to participate at the playground, and this limit applies to children attending parties in our reserved party rooms.

Absolutely! We offer 3 private party rooms that can be booked in 2-hour slots daily. All bookings require at least 24 hours notice. You can find more details and pricing on our Book Party page.

Admissions are an all-day pass. If you purchase a pass, you can stay for as long as you want until closing. If you’ve reserved a party room and want to play after the 2 hour timeframe, please feel free to do so but we ask that you leave the room when your time is up as it may be booked for the next party.

No. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to offer that service yet. We are considering it for the future, however. Read our full playground rules.

We allow guests who have reserved party rooms with us to bring food and drink (and cake!) with them to their parties. We ask those with party rooms to keep all outside food and beverages in their reserved areas. For walk-ins joining us at the playground, we have snacks and drinks available as concessions but please do not bring outside food unless you have booked a party room with us. We have limited tables and seating so we need to reserve this area for customers purchasing our inside snacks.

Please read our full list of Playground Rules for more information. Customers booking a party room are required to accept the terms of service outlined on our Policies & Conditions page.

The playground is cleaned daily, both during quiet moments during the day and a big clean is performed after closing.
