The castles feature ice-carved tunnels, fountains, slides, frozen thrones and towers that reach astonishing heights. LED lights frozen inside 25 million pounds of ice twinkle to music, adding a magical inspiring structures. You can walk through it during the day, but at night it comes alive with embedded multicolor lights that make the ice glow from within. This year even more spectacular icy
