Creating the Ice Castles consists of growing 5,000 to 12,000 icicles daily, all harvested by hand and individually sculpted onto existing ice formations.

Tickets go on sale this Thursday, December 26, ranging from $16.99 – $20.99 with a discounted children’s ticket. Be sure to grab them in advance as the icy attraction sells out many days every year. Please note that all opening dates and hours are weather dependent. For more details, click here.

If you’re traveling up I-70, expect heavy traffic. Motorists should be prepared for winter driving conditions and possible delays and even closures. For the latest road and travel conditions, please visit Cotrip.org.
