Woods Park in Lake George Village every winter, and it's truly spectacular. This ice palace in New York will amaze you with its beauty, and it's fun for the whole family. Read on to learn more.

Ice Castles is an award-winning, awe-inspiring, must-see attraction that happens in five states during the coldest part of the winter. We are so lucky to have one in New York and there's no better place to experience it than on the shores of incredible Lake George.

The company that creates these ice castles has been doing so since 2011. The company's founder, Brent Christiansen, started by making small ice castles in his own yard in Utah with a garden hose. They were such a hit with the neighborhood kids, he decided to take it on the road.

Visiting this icy attraction during the day is wonderful. You'll really be able to see all the details in the structures, which are made by spraying water over a scaffolding.

Your whole family will be in awe of the icicles, caves, secret passageways, archways, and natural colors of the ice that towers high over your heads.

There are ice slides to slide down - they're available to people of all ages and you can go as many times as you'd like!

At night, these ice castles transform into something even more beautiful as the lights hidden beneath the ice illuminate.

The colors are always changing and moving and look dreamlike. All around you is color, ice, and beauty.

You'll really feel like you are in a magical castle as you walk around. Most people stay about 45 minutes to an hour, so make sure you dress warmly to experience it all in comfort.

There is even an ice fountain for you to view. observe, and enjoy.

Exploring and sliding through colorful ice tunnels is something that you'll never forget.

There are so many photo opportunities at Ice Castles. Since it's a castle, you might as well get a photo of yourself sitting on the throne!

Ice Castles is the ultimate winter attraction in New York. You'll love everything about this very special place and experience. Once you visit once, you'll want to come back every year!
