The One Epic Slide In Minnesota You Need To Ride This Winter

Even after the holiday season ends, there is still more to look forward to in the winter season. Many winter festivals are yet to come, including the famous St. Paul Winter Carnival. This classic carnival features some of the best winter entertainment in Minnesota. But one thing many people look forward to most of all is the annual Giant Snow Slide at the Vulcan Snow Park. Why's it so fun? You're about to find out.

The Snow Park is open during the annual St. Paul Winter Carnival.

While at the park, you can take in dozens of impressive snow sculptures, like this amazingly detailed Rock'em Sock'em Robot battle.

Or you can take part in the annual Snow Stomp to get blocks ready for carving.

Here they are, ready to become art.

The park even has a snow maze for visitors to wander through.

But the most exciting attraction is the Giant Snow Slide.

Built with smooth chutes for extra speed, the Giant Snow Slide is the perfect way to get an adrenaline rush this winter.

You can even race your friends!

As we mentioned, the Vulcan Snow Park is part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival. This winter, the park opens January 22 for the snow stomp. You can view the sculptures from January 21 to February 5. The snow slide is open for business from January 21 to February 4. It costs $2 per ride, including the use of the sled.
