The frigid, Chicago area temperatures may not be pleasant for walking the dog -- but they have allowed for a popular winter attraction in Lake Geneva to finally open up to the public.
may not be pleasant for walking the dog -- but they have allowed for a popular winter attraction in Lake Geneva to finally open up to the public.thanks to a January warmup, Ice Castles in Lake Geneva will finally open for business Saturday, Feb. 4, with organizers on Friday working to put on the icy finishing touches.
"We're really excited," said Ice Castles event planner Wally Bullard, adding that while the warm temperatures did allow organizers and artists to create new features, it stalled others. "We had 20-foot [ice] walls set up in December, and then the warmup hit and everything went away," Bullard said.Although those walls have gone away, Bullard described the experience of traversing through the ice caves and castle as"walking through a glacier," with slides, tunnels, sculptures, thrones and more.According to organizers, teams of artisans hand-placed around 10,000 icicles per day to help create the icy winter wonderland.
