The New Hampshire Ice Castles are getting ready for the 2023 season! The popular frozen wonderland, located in North Woodstock, New Hampshire typically draws tens of thousands of visitors every year. No start date has been given, but it usually opens in early January and runs until March, or weather permitting. Tickets for the spectacular New Hampshire Ice Castles are on sale today, through their website.

Ice artisans are harvesting and hand-placing up to 10,000 icicles each day to build the multi-acre ice castle, as well as the other experiences the surrounding area offers. Last year, the attraction added an ice sculpture garden and winter fairy village. This year, they are going all out with a new ice bar! Check out all this famous frozen tourist attraction has to offer below.

• NEW: The Ice Bar

  Cocktails on ice…that’s nice! A new ice bar will debut this season. A representative from Ice Castles reported to boston.com, “The bar will serve a limited variety of winter-themed alcoholic beverages available for purchase for our guests 21 and up. There will be no additional admission to the ice bar, as it is included in the Ice Castles experience. There will also be a small children’s area nearby, so parents can enjoy their beverage while watching their children crawl through and play in miniature igloos nearby.”

  Ice Castles may bring out the kid in all of us, but this season we'll have something NEW just for adults 21 and up! This...

• 20 million pounds of fun

  As boston.com explained, this is “a 20-million pound attraction.” There is so much to explore from the cascadding towers of ice, to the tunnels, archways, caverns, fountains, crawl spaces and more. And it’s all brilliantly lit by colorful LED lights that change, often.
