Ice artisans are working around the clock to get the attraction in the Rocky Mountains ready to open before Christmas. Guests will be able to step into magic and wonder with a landscape filled with ice slides, towers, tunnels and caverns. Explore stunning new sculptures crafted by internationally renowned ice sculptors. Every element is designed to immerse visitors in a whimsical, fairy-tale environment. New this season, the icy fortress adds a frosty twist with the Polar Pub Ice Bar – the coolest spot in town to enjoy chilled beverages in a one-of-a-kind ice bar experience. Guests can also warm up with comforting food and indulgent sweet treats from our on-site concessions.

“For the first time in our company’s history, we are thrilled to open two Ice Castles locations in Colorado before Christmas," said Kyle Standifird, CEO of Ice Castles.
