Took the kids to the Ice Castles in Stratton, VT. We decided to go to Stratton instead of Lincoln, NH because I thought it would be a nicer drive. This is the first time we visited one of the ice castles. About 12 years ago we went to an ice hotel in Canada (click here for photos). Ice Castles are mostly made from spraying water with sprinklers. I believe the ice hotels are made more from using“ice blocks”. Overall, a really good time. Seeing the sled dogs at the end of the day was a real bonus.
