In another time, February school vacation would mean heading to some place warm. However the pandemic required us to look at more local options to spend time together as a family. The Ice Castles fit the bill as we were able to social distance appropriately while staying outside. The Ice Castles are located in four places throughout the US; New Hampshire, Colorado, Utah, and Wisconsin. It is a whimsical winter wonderland created out of thousands of icicles and 25,000 tons of ice. We had no clue what we were going to see. The excitement of a novel experience was wonderful by itself alone.
Changing lights was a backdrop at any turn creating an alluring experience while strolling amongst the sculpture.
Once inside the castle, there were tunnels to go exploring. Some we could walk upright. Others required crawling. But no matter where you went, the view was pleasing from any angle including looking up.
Hands down the most favorite part was the ice slide to get out of the castle. And, similarly to the rest of the castle, was a cascade of rainbow colors.
Just like any other castle, the Ice Castle came complete with a throne.
Outside the castle, an illuminated nature trail awaited us before we headed home.
Izzy dubbed this "Victoria's world" which she promptly agreed.
