Ice Castles in Minnesota Opening This Friday

I've always thought this would be a cool exhibit. They have been working on making these Ice Castles for a few weeks now. And they have been formed into castles. It's one of those events that I have always wanted to see...and just haven't made the trip down to see them.

2 years ago it was in Stillwater- this is where the event generally takes place. Last year it was in Excelsior. This was because of some work that was being done on a bridge, I believe. This year it was supposed to move back to Stillwater, but there was another issue. So, this year you will be able to enjoy the Ice Castles in New Brighton.

But if you are a person who likes to travel around and see cool things like this, Ice Castles is shown in 6 different cities.

Ice Castles is an award-winning frozen attraction located in six cities across North America. The experience is built using hundreds of thousands of icicles hand-placed by professional ice artists. The castles include breathtaking LED-lit sculptures, frozen thrones, ice-carved tunnels, slides, fountains and much more.
