New Hampshire Ice Castles Returning With A Brand, New Design

A chill has been in the air for a few weeks now, so it's no wonder work has begun on a new season of Ice Castles in Woodstock, New Hampshire.

The ice is being formed, light features are popping up on the forest walk and tubing hills are being groomed for another season of fun in this family friendly, winter wonderland.

So what can you expect from the New Hampshire Ice Castles 11th season?

Apparently an all new design.

In a recent press release, Ice Castles CEO Kyle Standifird said "“The excitement our visitors bring year after year drives us to not only meet their expectations, but to exceed them. This year we are rolling out a new castle design that we can’t wait to share with our visitors,”

But the ice castle itself is just the beginning.

Inside the castle walls visitors will find more super fun slides, crazy crawl tunnels, icy mazes, hidden alcoves and brand, new ice sculptures around every corner.

Plus last year's very popular Polar Pub is returning to serve winter-themed alcoholic beverages from a literal bar of ice.

And that's just inside the castle.

Surrounding the walls of ice will be a Mystic Forest that visitors can walk through on an illuminated path, venture into the magic of the winter fairy village or simply coast through on winter sleigh rides.

There will also be a snow tubing hill and back by popular demand, the private alcove inside the castle walls that you can book for special events.

If this all sounds too exciting to wait, you are in luck. Tickets for the 2023-2024 season are going on sale November 29, 2023 exclusively on the Ice Castles website.

Just make sure you're prepared for your trip to New Hampshire...
