PRESS RELEASE

The wait will soon be over for the return of one of Utah’s most popular winter attractions. Ice Castles in Midway will open to the public on December 21, 2022, the earliest the Utah attraction has ever opened in its 12 years in the Beehive State.

Ice artisans are working around the clock to get the attraction at Soldier Hollow Nordic Center ready for the grand opening next Wednesday. The interactive experience will feature ice-carved tunnels, fountains, slides, frozen thrones, and cascading towers of ice embedded with color-changing LED lights.

“This is the first time we’ve ever been able to open before Christmas in Utah,” said Ice Castles CEO Kyle Standifird, “Mother Nature has been good to us this season, and we’re excited to welcome guests to Ice Castles over the holiday break.”

Ice Castles will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but the attraction will be open most of the other days during the 2-week Christmas break. Tickets are on sale on the attraction’s website, www.icecastles.com/utah/

The Utah-based company has four other locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and New York. The castle in Midway is the first of the five attractions to open this season.
