Get ready, Colorado. The famous Ice Castles are making their grand return to Colorado this year after taking a two-year break. However, instead of being in Dillon, like in years past, the Ice Castles will be held in a new location for the 2023–2024 season.

Ice Castles will begin building its immersive winter attraction in Cripple Creek as soon as late October or early November. The winter attraction is set to open in late December or early January.

“We are excited to be back in Colorado this winter,” said Ice Castles' CEO Kyle Standifird. "Our team is dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience in Cripple Creek that complements the natural beauty of the area while providing a unique and immersive experience for guests."

The Ice Castles are made up of ice-carved tunnels, caverns, slides, and so much more. The acre-sized winter playgrounds are illuminated at night by color-changing LED lights embedded inside the ice.

“Cripple Creek is ecstatic to host Ice Castles this year,” said Cripple Creek Mayor Milford Ashworth. “We are the perfect frozen destination during wintertime and are looking forward to a beautiful season with Ice Castles at the forefront.”
