Ice Castles Winnipeg

Winter in Winnipeg is brutal and it's a no old news to everyone :)   Having a -30 to -45 wind chill is not fun at all, but hey! we get nice temperature sometimes too!  That's when we decided to head out on our day off, didn't send the little girl to the day care and went to the famous Ice Castles.

It's the first time that Ice Castles is being held in Winnipeg and it is a hit to everyone.  With the amazing ice forms, it's totally an instagram worthy!  The pictures I took don't give justice on how beautiful they are!

There are caves, slides and mini tunnel that adults and kids will definitely enjoy!  If you have a really good camera, it's better to go at night when they turn the lights on!  If you have kids, make sure you visit the Ice Castles during weekends to see the Frozen sisters.   Who doesn't want to take pictures with Anna and Elsa?  Too bad for us because the husband works this weekend and we went on a Friday but it's ok, our little bunny will meet them next month as we're gonna watch Disney on Ice! Yipee!

Some tips:

Check the weather before getting your tickets
Before buying your ticket, check online for coupon code (who doesn't like discounts?  c'mon!)
Buy tickets online instead on site, it's cheaper! 
Bring sleds for kids, it's not stroller friendly
Make sure you have memory on your phone, because you'll take lots of pictures for sure


It took us 30 minutes to admire the beauty of Ice Castles, it wasn't big as I expected.  So, if you're bringing your car and not planning on staying at The Forks Market, an hour or two is enough for parking. :)
