Or, if you desire to be out of doors, we’ve included some frosty winter festivals.

Ice Castles in Eden Prairie

Ice Castles has moved around the Twin Cities from year and to year; but it’s always a good time. In the past it has been at the MOA, Eden Prairie, Stillwater, and Excelsior. In 2020, it will be at Long Lake Park in New Brighton. Quite LITERALLY in my backyard!

Grand Opening is scheduled for Friday, January 17, 2020.  It’s spectacular.  Make sure you bundle up in all your layers so that you can safely spend lots of time at the Ice Castles and  get the best value for the ticket price.

In 2013, the Mall of America was host to one of Brent Christensen’s Ice Castles. At the time I didn’t realize what I was missing out on by not visiting it. However, in 2015, I made sure to not miss out. I packed up the kids and drove out to Eden Prairie’s Miller Park just off Hwy 212.
