Entry DescriptionIce Castles is a winter attraction located in six different cities across North America. Color-changing LED lights are embedded inside 25 million pounds of ice at each location. The towering walk-through attractions are designed by Ice Castles' founder Brent Christensen. The castles are built entirely by hand using hundreds of thousands of icicles grown and strategically placed by a team of professional ice artisans. The castles include LED-lit sculptures, frozen thrones, tunnels, slides, and fountains that twinkle in sync to a musical soundtrack at night.
Company DescriptionIce Castles is an awe-inspiring, must-see winter attraction that brings fairy tales to life. Located in six different locations across North America, Ice Castles' attractions are built entirely by hand using hundreds of thousands of icicles hand-placed by professional ice artisans. Color-changing LED-lit sculptures twinkle in sync to musical soundtracks at night, as visitors roam through mazes of ice, spiral down ice-carved slides, and crawl through a playground of ice tunnels.
