Mall of America Ice Castles

One of the reasons I love Minnesota and living here is because of of all of the amazing events & attractions that happen year round. As I said in this post - winter {for some strange reason} is my favorite season to explore Minnesota. 

Last week on a cold blustery Minnesota day {we're talking 1 degree with a windchill of -17 here folks} a few friends and I went and explored the Ice Castles at Mall of America. 







We ended the evening with hot chocolate from bucks.

  1. Looks like a fun ice castle, did you think it was worth the $?

    1. It was not worth the money for the length of time I spent in there. I wish it was a few $ cheaper and I wish i would have explored more. But honestly there isn't much to it for the cost of admission.

  2. We about froze our butts off when we went too!!! But it was soooo pretty! Made me feel like a little kid exploring through the castles! :)

  3. I've had mixed reviews on the ice castles this year - what are your thoughts? Worth the money taking a 5 and 8 year old?

    1. I am not sure it's worth the money unless you were going to be there over 20 minutes. I enjoyed the experience but I paid $11 and tried my hardest but I didn't last longer that 20 minutes. I saw the ice castles and walked through them but not sure I 'experienced' them like I wished I would have - especially for $11.

  4. Absolutely beautiful! I'm glad you took these, sounds like they may have started melting by now so when/if we ever get there, it probably won't look nearly as good! :)

  5. I briefly saw those driving by, when I was in the area last month. I thought then, that I need to bring my son to see them and then forgot about it. I'm so glad you shared these pictures!
