Ice Castles Expand with Two Colorado Locations

The Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth, Michigan, has expanded its Family Fun Center with new attractions, including Jacob’s High Flying Adventure ropes course and the Bavarian Alps climbing walls, as part of what will become the state's largest indoor water park. Meanwhile, Colorado's Ice Castles open in two locations for the first time, Cripple Creek and Eagle, offering visitors a whimsical experience with ice slides, caverns, and a new Polar Pub Ice Bar. This marks the first instance in Ice Castles' history where two sites in the same state are operational before Christmas. The installations, featuring millions of pounds of hand-placed icicles and LED-lit sculptures, promise to bring considerable tourism and economic activity to their areas. Both attractions highlight a trend toward enhancing local tourism experiences with unique, immersive environments. Ticket sales for the Ice Castles are underway, with pricing varying by age and peak periods.
