The story behind Ice Castles

Each year, Ice Castles brings fairy tales to life for hundreds of thousands of families across North America.

Our primary goal at Ice Castles is to make people smile.

Since 2011, Ice Castles has been dedicated to creating an experience that will live on long after the ice melts

Bringing joy to others has been our mission since the company’s inception. Founder, Brent Christensen, crafted his first icy creation in the front yard of his home to bring happiness and joy to his children.

After moving from sunny California to snowy Utah, Christensen did what any father of six stir-crazy kids with cabin fever would do. He built an ice cave in his yard to get his kids out of the house. His stroke of genius worked!

His icy invention wasn’t just a hit with his own children. Kids from all over the neighborhood – and eventually from all across town -- got wind of his creation, bundled up, and headed outside to play at Christensen’s wintry wonderland.

The kids affectionately called this winter playground an “ice castle”. And that is exactly what it is today.
