Every year, something magical appears outside of a Lake Geneva area resort. Destination Geneva National hosts an annual event that takes visitors into another world: Ice Castles. These colorful frozen creations don’t last long but they are one of Wisconsin’s best winter attractions. Here’s what you need to know about the ice castles.
Wisconsin is just one of five locations for this incredible event – they can also be found in Minnesota, New Hampshire, Utah, and New York. Wisconsin’s ice castles are located at this resort on the shore of Lake Como. In warmer months, it’s a top golfing destination.

When the clubs are packed away, it’s still a great destination. Talented ice artists build the experience by creating hundreds of thousands of icicles.
