During the grand opening, the ice castle will be open from 7:00-10:00 PM. Entrance is free with suggested donation with all of the net proceeds being donated to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.

During hours, the snow castle will be illuminated with candles and tours will be available. Visitors are encouraged to wear warm clothing and boots with good traction, as the stairs get slippery from use.
