It’s been a warmer than usual January and that’s not good for the frozen paradise that visits Lake George each season.

The Lake George Ice Castles were a popular tourist attraction when they debuted in 2022. However, consistent above-freezing temperatures for January have made their target opening date of January 27th less likely.

With February almost certain to deliver the cold temps needed to open, the ice castles team is planning on opening February 3rd.

The Ice Castles staff says they’ll be reaching out to people who have already purchased tickets for the week of January 27th.

The event is scheduled to run daily at Charles R. Wood park in Lake George. Tickets are available at icecastles.com.
