The wait will soon be over for the debut of the most anticipated new winter attraction in New York. Ice Castles in Lake George will open to the public on Sunday, January 23, 2022. Tickets went on sale at www.icecastles.com/new-york on Wednesday, January 19.
Ice artisans are working around the clock to get the attraction at Festival Commons ready for the grand opening. The interactive experience will feature ice-carved tunnels, fountains, slides, frozen thrones, and cascading towers of ice embedded with color-changing LED lights.
“We can hardly contain our enthusiasm over welcoming Ice Castles to Lake George,” Warren County Tourism Director Joanne Conley said. “Visitors know us as an iconic summer destination, and now we invite them to experience all we have to offer in the winter months. Complementing our popular Winter Carnival, Ice Bars, and incredible winter recreation, we expect this magnificent attraction’s frozen spires of light and color over the south shore of our beautiful lake, against the dramatic backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains, to dazzle spectators’ senses. It certainly will be a sight to see!”
Artisans have spent the last 8 weeks growing, harvesting, and hand-placing icicles to create the life-size fairytale playground. The Utah-based company has four other locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Utah.
