NEW BRIGHTON, MN (WCCO) — Crews have begun chipping away at construction of Minnesota’s Ice Castles. The popular winter wonderland at Long Lake Regional Park in New Brighton will feature ice-carved slides, tunnels, fountains and waterfalls. It’s expected to be completed in three to four weeks.
According to the organizers, a team of ice artisans will spend 4,000 hours dripping, shaping and hand-placing icicles, before embedding the structures with color changing LED lights.
