South Koreans have found a way to beat the heat: go to a frozen museum.

Located inside the Trickeye Museum in Hongdae, the Ice Museum has various ice sculptures designed for all ages. You can find Rudolph-themed slides, penguin ice sculptures, and an igloo complete with a “fire.” There’s even an ice hotel that comes furnished with an ice bed, sofa, table and even an ice toilet.

If you’re in Seoul, you can visit the museum everyday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.

Take a look at the above slideshow if you’re in need of some cooling down today.
