A magical, frozen attraction is bringing its fairy-tale experience back to Ramsey County this winter. In January 2023, Ice Castles will return to Long Lake Regional Park in the suburb of New Brighton.
The frozen experience features tunnels, caverns, towers, fountains, slides and crawl spaces built entirely from icicles that are grown on site, harvested, and hand-placed by professional ice artisans. The winter playground will also include an ice sculpture garden and a winter light grove this season.
Construction on the winter attraction typically begins in November. A team of at least 20 ice artisans will spend about eight weeks building the experience. Ice Castles is expected to open in early January and remain open until early March.
Presale tickets to visit the frozen fortresses will be available in December on the company’s website, icecastles.com. The Minnesota location is one of five Ice Castles locations in the United States. The seasonal entertainment company also has locations in New Hampshire, New York, Utah and Wisconsin.
