Hello, Welcome to "Travel with Suri".
The ice castles are an award-winning frozen wonderland for both kids and adults of all ages.
This experience is built using hundreds of thousands of icicles hand placed by professional
ice artists. Each castle attraction includes breathtaking LED lit icicles, frozen thrones,
ice carved tunnels, slides and much more. Welcome to the Ice Castle, Dillon - Colorado.
The ice castle in dillon colorado usually opens
after the Christmas and runs through February or possibly later depending on weather.
Weekdays at ice castles are much less crowded. If you plan your visit right around sunset you have
the opportunity to experience the castle during the day when the ice is in its natural glacial
blue and at night when the entire attraction is illuminated with color changing LED lights.
The general admission ticket for adult is $18 on weekday and $23 on weekend.
This attraction is made out of ice so it is going to be very cold especially if you visit at night.
It probably goes without saying but you will want to bundle up wear warm clothes
and dress in lots of layers. I was not sure what to expect before going there but whatever it was,
my experience far exceeded it. This was so much bigger than I expected and so beautiful.
Each ice castle is grown icicle by icicle daily by thousands. The icicles are harvested and
strategically placed by a team of ice artists and then sprayed with water to increase their volume,
more and more water is applied and the castle gains height and
thickness until it tops out between 20 and 40 feet and weighs about 25 tons.
Because the castle regularly sells out you need to purchase your timed ticket online ahead of time.
When you buy a ticket, you get a 30 minute timed window in which to enter the castle.
You may access the site at any time during your window and you may stay for as long as you want.
Your visit to ice castle is like entering a fairy tale. The mission of this ice castle is simple:
to create happiness, laughter and unforgettable winter memories.
The ice slides are the most popular feature in ice castle. Based on my experience,
I recommend that you head to the slides first once you get inside the ice castle,
otherwise the lines can get a bit long and you might be waiting a while to have a turn.
THANKS YOU so much for watching and I will see you guys in my next video, Happy Thanksgiving!
