North Woodstock – October 14, 2026 -- Ice Castles will reopen its walk-through ice attraction at 24 Clark Farm Road in North Woodstock, New Hampshire, for the 2026–27 winter season. The team hopes to open in late December, weather permitting, and plans to stay open into early March.

Color-changing LEDs light tunnels, towers and slides from inside the ice

Visitors can walk through frozen tunnels, archways, towers, slides and caverns, all sculpted entirely from ice. At night, color-changing LED lights glow from within the walls.

The site covers about one acre and uses 20 million pounds of ice. Ice artisans grow, harvest and hand-place tens of thousands of icicles over several weeks, with up to 12,000 grown and placed each day.
