If you’ve never seen the Ice Castles, you have to put it on your Colorado bucket-list, and this year it’ll be even easier…
Ice Castles will return for a second winter in Cripple Creek and a new location this year in Eagle.
The Ice Castles exhibition is made up ice-carved tunnels, caverns, fountains, slides, frozen thrones, towers, and crawl spaces. The acre-sized winter playgrounds are illuminated at night by color-changing LED lights embedded inside the ice.
Construction will begin as early as late October. A team of approximately 20 ice artisans will spend several weeks building the experiences using icicles that they grow, harvest, and hand-place one-by-one.
Ice Castles typically opens in late December or early January, depending on the weather, and remains open until early March.
Tickets to visit the frozen fortresses go on sale Nov. 26 at IceCastles.com.
