I went for the first time to Ice Castles with my friends yesterday and it was really cute! We didn't know exactly what to expect since it was a first for all 3 of us, but it was a really good experience.

They must have several parking lots because in the dark when we were driving we ended up in the overflow parking lot, but they had school busses shuttle to the Ice Castle and also back to the parking lot. So even if you end up in the overflow parking lot you don't have to walk all the way to the castles.

It was $18 for general adult admission. I'm not sure what the kids price was but I think I remember seeing it was $12. I got the $18 one but since it was the weekend it's more expensive so I paid $22 for one adult ticket.

If you come during the night like we did make sure to wear boots. Also wear thick socks with those boots. It might have just been the weather last night but my feet were my coldest bodypart. Bundle up and wear a hat, gloves, and snow pants if you have some. There are ice slides you can use but you would need to wear snowpants. This is a great family activity, there were a lot of little kids using the slides.

They sell hot chocolate and have a few places throughout that have a small fire going so you can warm up. My friend wore vans and since everywhere you step inside by the ice castles is full of snow (sometimes as deep as your ankles) her shoes were soaked and she wore thin ankle socks. So that fire probably saved her toes from getting frostbite. I wore boots but after a while, even my boots got cold and I wore thin socks.

I'll probably come back with my family but next time I'll make sure to wear thick socks and maybe get those hot hands and toes warmer things they sell at Walmart to keep my toes and hands warm.

A bit later in the night they had fire performers come and they did a show with fire, it was pretty lit!😂😂😂👍

It was a really good experience!
