Ice Castles Field Trip

We took the kids on a frozen fun field trip to Midway Ice Castles a couple weeks ago. It was memorable and we’re so glad we went before the weather got warm.

Midway Ice Castles Field Trip

What is it? Metal frames get doused with water and then it freezes into gorgeous formations. The sunlight streaming through the ice on the day we went made it look magical.

The ice forms canyons, stalagmites, stalactites, mountains, hills, tunnels, and valleys. Some water is left running to create an ethereal feeling like being underground in a magical icy world.

Ice Canyon

The girls loved the icicles and canyons that were created by the water freezing.

There was even an incredibly fun tunnel slide carved into the ice. Ice stairs were chiseled and at the top, you can stand and look out over the winter wonderland, then slide down an ice tunnel. The kids really loved it!

Ice King

Since we’re homeschooling, we went on our field trip while other kids were in school so there were no lines and it was like an icy playground castle. Perfect timing!

Ice Princesses

Here are my beautiful snow babies:

I love this pic my husband took of me. The ice formations make me look like I’m standing in a cloud. Look at that stunning blue sky!

Blue Skies and Ice

Here are some of the lovely ice crystals and icicles – it went perfectly with our crystal study in science we did a while ago. We were all in awe of it.

Ice Sculptures

Oh, yeah. I went down the ice tunnel slide. A few times. It was totally awesome.
