Dillon Ice Castles announced Tuesday that it’s nearly time to close the frozen gates. The popular attraction’s last day will be Saturday, March 9. Tens of thousands of people visited the castles in the past nine weeks, according to a press statement from the company. Roughly 25 million pounds of ice are used to create the attraction’s towers, slides, tunnels, fountains and thrones, according to Ice Castles. There were six ice castle locations in North America: Midway, Utah; North Woodstock, New Hampshire; Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; Excelsior, Minnesota; and Edmonton, Alberta.
