Ice Castles, the renowned handbuilt ice attraction, is set to make its debut in Montréal this winter at Espace 67 in Parc Jean-Drapeau. This marks the first time the interactive winter experience will be available in Québec, offering visitors a chance to explore a world crafted entirely from ice.
Founded in 2010, Ice Castles has become an internationally acclaimed attraction, known for its hand-sculpted tunnels, archways, towers, and caverns. These structures are illuminated by colour-changing LED lights, creating a magical atmosphere. "Montréal is one of the world's great winter cities, and we're proud to introduce Ice Castles here for the first time," said Kyle Standifird, CEO of Ice Castles. "Parc Jean-Drapeau is an exceptional setting, and we can't wait to share this magical winter experience with Montrealers and visitors this coming season."
The concept originated when founder Brent Christensen built a winter playground for his children in Alpine, Utah. The attraction has since expanded across North America, drawing crowds eager to witness the icy creations. Each Ice Castle is constructed by a team of artisans who meticulously grow, harvest, and place tens of thousands of icicles over several weeks.
Opening dates for Ice Castles Montréal will depend on weather conditions. Interested visitors can subscribe for updates on ticket sales via the Ice Castles website. This new addition to Montréal's winter attractions promises to enchant both locals and tourists alike, offering a unique experience in one of the city's most iconic parks.
