Beautifully Poor

Have you ever wanted to visit a castle? How about a castle made of ICE!? Who would have thought such beauty could be made with some water and LED lights! I must say we were more than impressed this year at the beauty that surrounded us as we entered the beautiful, manmade sculpture. I really liked how there was signs around the castles themselves letting patrons know how they were built. I did really wonder how they accomplished this, so was pleased to find out! Handcrafted ice castle? Why not! I found the prices very fair and cheaper than last year. We ended up going on Super Bowl Sunday and needless to say, the crowd was quite thin. I loved it that way! Made for good pictures and the kids could really enjoy the tunnels and slide without the crowds or long lines.

Some of you may have seen my post earlier this month telling you about these amazing ice castles, but we actually were able to go thanks to USFamilyGuide.com for free! So here is my experience with this beautiful structure. (All opinions are 100% my own.) The Ice Castles in Eden Prairie are just gorgeous. I really wanted to go in the evening because I heard they lit up the place, which as you can see they do! The castle itself changes color and in the background is the epic music of the movie Frozen, as well as other Disney music. It was a breath-taking view as you first walk in. It is amazing how this castle is built. They call it icicle farming which is where they harvest icicles and bring them to location and build off of them with water. Which in turn creates this fantastic structure. My little guy was in awe the whole time and just LOVED it. He had fun exploring the tunnels and caverns in the ice castle and they even had an ice slide! They also had en...
