Utah Ice Castles Review

What to expect at Ice Castles near Midway, UT

We finally got a chance to go to the Ice Castles in Midway, Utah like I was hoping.  It was super cool (pun intended) and a great family activity for all ages.  We have teens and elementary-aged children and everyone thought it was fun.  Here’s my review of the Utah Ice Castles.

*This post is sponsored by US Family Guide.  I was asked to review Ice Castles.  All opinions are pictures in this post are my own.

 
We all enjoyed our little Ice Castles trip.  If you want to go be sure to use the discount coupon code at the end of this post!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here’s what you need to know about Ice Castles:
 
*  It’s cold with some places having deeper snow as you walk around the tunnels and caverns.  In Utah, it’s in the mountains, so even a nice day can be chilly. Wear your boots, gloves, and warm stuff!
 
*  In Utah, they have a couple of ice slides throughout the caverns.  A large one for older people and a small one just right for the littles.
 
*  You have to sign up for a certain time when you buy your ticket.  You cannot come earlier than your assigned time–BUT you can stay as long as you like once you are in.
 
*  The times and tickets fill up quickly so plan ahead.
 
*  During the day they often have visits from Elsa and Anna (check the schedule)!
 
*  At night it’s all lit up with fun music playing.  The lights change colors too.
 
*  As you leave they sell snacks and souvenirs.
 
*  The admission feels kinda pricey.  It can range from $6-$12 for kids and $10-$18 for anyone 12 and up.  So plan ahead and stay as long as you can to make it worth it. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
There are a lot of tunnels and caves to explore.  
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
The icicles are impressive!

Loved the changing colors.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Like nothing we’ve ever seen before
 
 
 
I hope you get a chance to try out the Ice Castles before they melt.  

 

Because our tickets were set for later at night, we decided to stay in Midway overnight.  We visited The Homestead Crater and stayed at the very impressive Mountain Springs Inn which included a small kitchen and living area (for a great price!).

New movie coming out that I want to see. I remembe New movie coming out that I want to see. I remember when this happened in 1989. The boy Josh was lost in an abandoned mine in UT for 5 days. It was a miracle how they found him. He was about my age so it made an impression on me. Now this true story has been made into a movie called Faith of Angels. @faithofangelsfilm 
Check out the trailer here: https://upvir.al/158749/lp158749  DO YOU REMEMBER this news story?
Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @hal Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @halecentretheatre lately!! The Nutty Professor had us laughing all the way to the end and the music was clever and fun.  If you’ve been trying to decide about this one, I’d say don’t miss it! #halecentretheatre #thenuttyprofessormusical #halecentretheatresandy
Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Ticket Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Tickets were only $8.01 on 8/01 and the zoo opened at 8:01 am. 
I went with my nieces and nephews and it was VERY BUSY! (like Disneyland busy). We arrived about 11 am and every parking lot was completely full and side streets were filling fast. Needless to say we had to walk a bit in the heat just to get to the front gate. There were lines to get in, lines, at snack shops, and definitely a line for the train. BUT we saw some animals—-lions, tigers, bears (oh my!)…plus giraffes, zebras, and a leopard.  It was definitely worth $8.01 but it’s not for the faint of heart. A fun adventure! #hoglezoo #801day #familyactivities #hoglezooutah 🐒🐅🦒🐘🦓
So the amount of car wash centers popping up every So the amount of car wash centers popping up everywhere has made me curious. Why are they everywhere?! So we decided to try is and see what the fuss was all about. Here’s the PROS AND CONS we found:

Pros:
• Gentle yet very thorough wash—no scratching!
• Attendants right there to help you
• Fun lights and cool sprayers—it’s like a show!
• Powerful vacuums and extras for detailing

Cons:
• So expensive! This is not your regular $5 car wash. 
• They have limited hours. This one closes by 7 pm so no car washing whenever you want
• Kinda an eyesore to have a car wash in every corner in town. 

What do you think? What Pros and Cons have you found? Do you like these big car was centers?
