    Easy/moderate lakeside walk (~3.3km) west of town with a short, steeper detour to a Moke Lake viewpoint — a scenic sunset option.

    Good to knowA bit further to reach, so best on a lighter ski day when you have the afternoon free.

  • Queenstown Ice Arena

    Indoor ice rink in central Queenstown with public skating, ice hockey and bumper cars — a fun wet-weather backup.

    Good to knowIndoors and weatherproof, walkable from the waterfront; check public session times.

  • Ice Bar (Below Zero / Minus 5°)

    A bar carved from ice on Steamer Wharf — coats and gloves provided, a quick novelty stop for a single drink.

    Good to knowShort visit, right on the waterfront; easy to combine with dinner.
