Ice Castles

Ice Castles is an awe-inspiring, must-see winter phenomenon that brings fairytales to life. This winter, escape into an icy wonderland at The Festival Commons in beautiful Lake George, New York. Lake George, New York is one of only five locations across the United States. Each castle is approximately an acre in size and consists of more than 25 million pounds of ice.

The experience is built entirely by hand using hundreds of thousands of icicles, grown, sculpted, and hand-placed by professional ice artists. The castles include breathtaking LED-lit sculptures, frozen thrones, ice-carved tunnels, caverns, slides, and fountains.

By day, this frozen fortress glimmers a natural glacial blue. At night, color-changing lights embedded inside the ice twinkle and dance to whimsical music. Opening dates for Ice Castles are weather dependent, but most locations open sometime in January and remain open until early March. Tickets go on sale early in December. Ice Castles' activities are weather dependent, and may be temporarily closed or unavailable due to weather.

Tickets MAY be available on-site if Ice Castles is not sold out. On-site prices are subject to higher rates. For guaranteed entry and the lowest price, buy tickets online in advance.
