The legendary Ice Castles are back in 2022! They’re up ready at Geneva National Resort this weekend, and they’ll stay open as long as wintry weather allows.
The famous and stunning Ice Castles are back in Lake Geneva this season! They started work in November and will open this Saturday, the 22nd. This is the fourth straight year Lake Geneva hosts the majestic winter display, which requires tens of thousands of icicles to be fused and frozen together. Often reaching 30,000 square feet in size, you can walk under, over, and through this lit, frozen wonderland – sometimes you can even slide down parts of it.
Check out the Ice Slides, Ice Caves, walk through caverns or crawl through tunnels, take a sleigh ride, even book a VIP experience in a private alcove within the castle!
The Lake Geneva area offers plenty to enjoy in winter, but the return of the Ice Castles kicks it up yet another notch. This year, they chose to build a downsized castle in a shady location to help shield the ice during mild weather and sunny days on a footprint of about one acre, about 30 percent smaller than last year. However, it will have taller walls and “a more vertical construction” to compensate.
