After spending so much time holed up in the house we decided to head up north to the White Mountains for a change of scenery. After a day of skiing we headed to the Ice Castles in Lincoln to see what all the fuss was about. It turned out to be a pretty interesting spot. As soon as we were in the gates it was clear that this was a large structure. There were impressive walls of icicles capped with a bit of snow. The interior of everything was lit up so that the entire place glowed.
We spent some time exploring the main castle area and watching the many families take advantage of the slides, sleigh rides, and climbing structure.
One of the most interesting spots here was actually not an ice castle though. There was a short walk through the woods that had all kinds of light displays in various combinations. Hanging lights, lights on the ground, laser lights, and tree lights were scattered throughout the woods and kept on impressing us. It was also much quieter than the main attractions, which always makes things better for me.
At the end of the day this is quite a unique place, and I don’t think I can really sum it up in a few pictures. I’ll leave you with a couple ice sculptures that we passed along the way, both of which had some really excellent lighting. If you spend some time in Lincoln in the winter, I would definitely recommend checking this place out in person!
