The Ice Castles are officially back in Edmonton! Opening day is January 4, 2019.
Aside from the breathtaking design in itself that seems to bring fairy tales to life and many other things to enjoy, our favorites are the icy throne you can sit on, and the famous icy slide is fun for all ages! There are also special guests on the Saturdays and Sundays from Noon to 3pm – beloved snow sisters will make appearances. Plus, stick around for the fire performers on Fridays and Saturdays from 7pm to 10pm.

Tips for taking the kids:
- Bring a sled, not a stroller!
- Dress warm and in extra layers, even mild days can seem a bit cooler when you’re outside for a long time
- Wear boots. You’ll be walking on crushed ice and snow, boots are definitely best
- Make sure you purchase tickets before heading out: this is the only way to guarantee entry
- You’ll want to take pictures! You can use the tag #icecastles on social media if you’d like!
You don’t need to print out your tickets, you can use the QR code on your phone for entry, as you will be emailed your tickets after purchase.
Most importantly, have fun!
