Midway Ice Catles

The Ice Castles are a must see winter attraction in Utah. Last time we went, we went too early in the season to see them at their full size. They are continually growing the size of the castles, so the best time to see them is around the end of January or beginning of February.
These backlit ice sculptures look like something you would find growing inside Carlsbad Caverns. There is a fountain, tunnels, slot... canyons, and this year they built ice slides.

We all had a blast, but boy was it cold. Night time is the best time to visit to see the castles lit up, but the temperature is regularly in the low 20s so dress accordingly. Good snow boots are probably the most important thing to wear since you are going to be in ankle deep snow in a lot of places. Parking is really busy and full, so give yourself at least an extra 15 minutes before your scheduled time to make sure you can park and get to the entrance.
