Ice Castles: Returning to Wisconsin with new measures to promote social distancing

Lake Geneva, WI, October 29, 2020 – A winter wonderland in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin will return this season with new measures designed with safety in mind. Ice Castles will offer families the same fun magical winter appeal this year with ice slides, crawl spaces, caves, and fountains illuminated at night, but the experience will be slightly different.

Ice Castles will operate on a reduced capacity this season to promote social distancing. Wherever possible, tunnels and crawl spaces will be clearly marked as one-way features to limit face-to-face exposure with other guests. In accordance with local and state mandates, staff and guests will be required to wear a mask or face covering.

“We are excited to provide a venue for fresh-air adventure and an amazing lakefront landscape that accentuates the magic of this one-of-a-kind outdoor attraction,” adds President of Paloma Resort Properties, which owns and manages Destination Geneva National. “Since last season, we’ve opened 32 brand-new Suites – spacious accommodations just steps from the entrance to Ice Castles.”

If weather permits, ice artisans will begin growing and harvesting up to 10,000 icicles each day beginning in late November to construct the frozen attraction. The winter playground is projected to open sometime in January 2021. This season, the Utah-based company will have four locations across North America. Other locations include Colorado, New Hampshire, and Utah.
