This year you can fulfill your winter fantasy of spend a day touring an ice castle. These icy attractions are available in four cities across the United States and each one offers different landscapes, caverns and frozen slides, perfect for a family outing.
The ice castles of the United States emerged thanks to a father looking to entertain his children. After moving with his family from California to Utah, Brent Christensen had the idea of creating an icy adventure for his children. The first winter they spent in the hive state, the man used his garden to create a frozen ice cave, which soon attracted the attention of the other children in the neighborhood, thus a unique attraction was born and, by 2011, the company Ice Castles began operating.
The Ice Castles facilities welcome visitors throughout January, February and may remain open in March, depending on weather conditions.
