10 Best Places to Eat while You Visit the Lake George Ice Castles
The Lake George Ice Castles burst onto the scene last winter here in Upstate NY, and they're primed for even more success in year number two when the magical display opens to the public on January 27th.
What's new in year #2?
According to a post in the Glens Falls Chronicle, the Ice Castles will be "expanded and enhanced" in year two, and some of the major additions include, "an ice bar, whimsical winter characters for meet-and-greets, and new light features….So there will be something new for both adults and kids alike."
"The walk-through structure, built by hand from sculpted icicles by the “ice artists,” features LED-lit frozen thrones, ice-carved tunnels, slides, fountains, sculptures and private “ice rooms” to rent." - Glens Falls Chronicle

How do you get tickets?
Ticket prices start at $22 for adults and $15 for children ages 4-11. Prices vary depending on when you go - and weekday prices are a little bit cheaper than weekend prices. For more ticket info and to purchase tickets click here.
Naturally, the weather needs to cooperate in order for the Castles to really shine, and warm or damp winter weather can cause them to melt, shutting down the exhibit.
But this year, organizers are hoping that's not the case when the Ice Castles open in January and continue through early March, depending on the weather.
According to the report in the Chronicle, Ice Castles are hoping they can be allowed to pull more water from Lake George this year, so it can build bigger, heavier ice structures less susceptible to melting.
