If you are still on the fence about going to check out this incredible event, here are 5 reasons to go see Ice Castles New Hampshire.
- The features of the Ice Castles New Hampshire is the main draw as they are interactive. On an acre of land, the frozen ice makes up walls, tunnels to crawl through, archways to walk under, and towers of cascading waterfalls, thrones to sit on, and slides. New features this year include a quarter-mile long winter light walk in the forest and a sledding hill. Be sure to stay into the night as the Ice Castles get illuminated with LED multicolored lights that help to enhance the ice even more.
- Another great reason to go and see and appreciate Ice Castles New Hampshire is that the entire thing is made by human hands. “Ice artisans” create up to 10,000 icicles per day that are needed to make this frozen attraction. Growing and harvesting the icicles takes several weeks. Each icicle is carefully placed by hand then sprayed with water to set it in. The castles can get to heights of 30 feet. It takes 4,000 hours of dripping and shaping these structures to the finished product for all to enjoy.
- What goes better with ice than fire?! Along with the breathtaking ice castles, there are also fire performances. You’ll get a high-energy and unique fire show where performers demonstrate fire breathing, spinning, hula, and more!
