MIDWAY, Utah — After an action-packed four weeks at the popular Ice Castles in Midway, the attraction is preparing to say goodbye for the year.

Ice Castles leaders said spring is right around the corner and the last day to check out the paradise would be Saturday, February 17.

Leading up to the opening of ice castles, Utahns waited through an unseasonably warm spell in December, which ultimately pushed back the opening day.

Ice Castles finally opened on January 15, which gave visitors just about a month to head to Midway and check out the winter wonderland.

The Ice Castles are a popular tradition that continues to dazzle visitors of all ages, braving the frigid conditions every year for a glimpse at the colorful paradise.

Ahead of opening day, ice sculptors and about 20 ice builders quickly got to work on the mystical experience, harvesting icicles to build fantastic structures and interactive elements.

Visitors can expect "ice-carved tunnels, fountains, slides, frozen thrones and cascading towers of ice embedded with color-changing LED lights," organizers explained.

FOX 13 News previously reported that the attraction is getting a brand new design this year, making for a new experience for attendees.

As a special, sweet addition, a soda bar serving up drinks and hot chocolate will also serve guests at the attraction.

Tickets are required to visit the spectacular ice fortress, with prices ranging from $19-$25 for adults and $12-$17 for children.
