Ice Castles

                         Ice Castles (NH)

Ice Castles are tourist attractions in four major US cities. Recently, my family and I visited the one in North Woodstock, New Hampshire. When walking among the gorgeous ice formations, multiple layers was a must, especially on feet (I found that out firsthand.) On top of that, prepare for a half an hour to an hour of walking. Sleds were suggested to drag young children in, and as fun as that sounds, probably wouldn't work as well for those older. It was important not to touch or try to break the ice, for obvious reasons. While I'm going to describe the place, I am not going to give away all the fun, especially as words cannot do it justice!

The ice castle itself had several things to do inside, such as a few slides, lit up rainbow colors, a little tunnel for kids to crawl through, and a larger, walking tunnel. The entirety of the place was lit up by colored lights, frozen in the ice. There was a couple large windows in the ice, set there as photo spots. 

Being able to walk through the forest was a magical experience. They had multi-colored lights hung all around and in the trees, as well as some other ice surprises if you kept your eyes open! There was a carriage ride and a tubing hill elsewhere, but I cannot vouch for those, as I did not experience them. 

All in all, the Ice Castles was a wonderful experience that I absolutely want to have again. A big thank you to everyone that works on it, because it is a lot of work to build, of that I'm sure!
