MIDWAY ICE CASTLES ANNOUNCES OPENING DATES
Despite an unseasonably warm start to winter, a popular icy attraction in Midway, Utah will open as scheduled this season. Ice Castles will open to the public on December 29, 2017. Tickets are now on sale on the attractions’ website, www.icecastles.com/midway.
The Utah-based company is currently building ice castles in an unprecedented six locations across North America. The acre-sized interactive attraction in Midway will feature ice-carved tunnels, fountains, slides, frozen thrones, and spiraling towers embedded with color-changing LED lights that twinkle to music at night.
Artisans have spent the last four weeks dripping, shaping and hand-placing icicles to create the life-size fairytale playground. The breathtaking attraction has become a must-see winter attraction and social media sensation.
Since 2011, travelers from all over the globe have flocked to Ice Castles to walk through the frozen creation made up of 25 million pounds of ice.
The ice castle in Midway, Utah is one of six locations this year. The company has other locations in Dillon, Colorado; Stillwater, Minnesota; Lincoln, New Hampshire; Edmonton, Alberta; and Winnipeg, Manitoba.
