Ice Castles

Built by hand and made from more than 20,000,000 pounds of ice, the Ice Castles in Midway, UT are READY to be explored! We grow at least 10,000 icicles every day and place them throughout the ice castles to provide something for the water to freeze to. Over time the icicles just get absorbed into the ice structure. When Icicles at the Ice Castle melt, they melt according to the laws of nature. This means that the smallest parts of the icicle melt first and it will take more time for the ice in the center of the icicle to melt. On a warm day, the icicles will melt from the bottom up. The smallest parts of the icicles will drip and turn to slush. The slush at the end may fall in small pieces. Guests visiting on days where the temperature is sunny and above freezing will get dripped on, and occasionally small masses of slush will fall. Ice has the same color properties of water. Ice is blue for the same reason that the ocean is blue — because one and water will absorb all colors of the color spectrum and emit blue colors. A general rule is that the thicker the the ice, the deeper the shade of blue.
