The Ice Castles will feature slides, caverns, tunnels, crawl spaces, and sculptures made entirely from ice. It takes a team of approximately 20 ice artists to build the experience using icicles that they grow, harvest, and hand-place. The ice is embedded with color-changing LED lights which create an enchanting illumination at night.
