I can not wait to come see this in person!!! I feel like I’ve now added this to my bucket list!
How long will the castle be open for? Through March?
Our goal is to have it remain open through early March, depending on weather.
Just Beautiful, can’t wait to see the Ice Castle again!
Is that still on? Website says February 23 is the last day, and we’re thinking of coming with a small group!
The goal is to keep the Ice Castle open through March 1, depending on weather. It certainly isn’t melting at the moment!
I am so incredibly excited to see this amazing castle!!
Glad to hear it, Laurie!
I really want to see this BUT ….Safety wise, can the big icicles fall on you? or are the pathways not under the pointy ones? I am not even kidding; I have FEARS!
Hi Carol,
We have a crew that inspects the ice castle every day before it opens. They do a great job of maintaining the castle and taking care of any hazards that may exist. There’s only one pathway that goes directly under icicles, but you can easily avoid that. Come visit!
How long does it take to view the ice castles?
Hi Joe,
You can view the ice castle at your own pace, so you can stay all day if you want. However, most people spend 30-45 minutes.
What time do the lights come on at night?
Hi Keri,
The lights typically come on a bit before sunset, so 5 p.m. or so.
CAN IT BE VISITED IN THE RAIN?
What are the hours you are open? Also what is the per person cost per visit?
Hi Debbie. You can find hours of operations and ticket prices on our website: http://loonmtn.com/info/winter/advctr.aspx
Will you be open regular hours on March 1st? Are you planning to stay open any later?
No plans to stay open later than usual, Angie. If something changes, though, we’ll post that information here: http://loonmtn.com/info/winter/advctr.aspx
Will you be open regular hours on Saturday March 1st?
Thinking of taking my daughter for her birthday (February 28). What hotels are close to the castles?
Hi Michelle,
Everything in the downtown area is pretty close to the castle. You should check out the Lincoln-Woodstock Chamber of Commerce website, which lists local hotels: http://www.lincolnwoodstock.com/Where+to+Stay/Where+to+Stay.
