These icy attractions bring the movie Frozen to life.
It’s the time of year where temperatures drop, and the chance of snow is likely in many places. The popular 2013 children’s movie Frozen certainly fanaticized the icy landscape. Of course, many little girls’ dreams are to be Elsa and creating their own snowy palace. This winter, you can travel to a life-size ice castle that makes reality seem like a fantasy.
Ice Castle is the latest cold weather attraction in many parts of the continent. The wintery entertainment business is based out of Utah and offers attractions in numerous locations across North America. They specialize in creating a realistic castle constructed entirely of giant blocks of ice. Each Ice Castle weights about 25,000,000 pounds. The walls reach up to 20 or 30 feet. Of course, building one is certainly no small undertaking. The results of the endeavor are simply breathtaking.
