The Ice Castles offers a unique experience for guests of all ages, with ice slides, sculptures, tunnels, and an ice bar for the adults! Wonder at the incredible feat of engineering with a warm cup of cocoa or an icy beverage.
The Ice Castles typically begin construction after the fall, when temperatures allow the ice to freeze as ice artists construct the magnificent structure. Each castle is built by hand and takes thousands of man-hours to create. The daily process consists of growing 5,000-12,000 icicles that are harvested by hand and individually sculpted into existing ice formations. The blend of icicle placement, temperatures, water volume, and wind results in an ever-changing variety of ice formations.
No opening date has been announced yet, as they are weather-dependent, but you can sign up for the Ice Castles newsletter to stay up to date. Most locations open in early January and remain open until early March.
Tickets for both Silverthorne and Cripple Creek will go on sale on Dec. 2 on the Ice Castles’ website, linked above.
