The Ice Castles are set to return to the Twin Cities this winter.
The handmade sculptures — featuring frozen thrones, ice-carved tunnels, slides, fountains, ice statues and more — will call Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton home starting in January of 2022,Ramsey County said.
The castles have been a wintertime staple in Minnesota over the past decade, bouncing from the Mall of America to Eden Prairie, then Stillwater and Excelsior. In the 2019-20 winter, the company behind the event, Ice Castles LLC.,moved the attraction to Long Lake Regional Park— which is where it will return following a pandemic-caused cancellation last winter.
