We've been patiently waiting and the time has finally arrived. Lake George Ice Castles has announced its opening date.

For weeks, Hudson Valley residents have been waiting on the Ice Castles to be cold enough to visit in Lake George. Last week, the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce announced that the castles were almost ready.

They even gave fans a sneak peek into what castles were already built.

At New York Ice Castles visitors will have a chill time while exploring beautifully sculpted castles. You can crawl through ice tunnels (for kids AND adults), slide down ice slides or "Immerse yourself in icy caverns and walk beneath archways of massive icicles dangling overhead like a winter chandelier." Sounds fancy right?
There's also the VIP option of hanging out at the Arctic Alcove for a special occasion. Valentines Day is right around the corner, perhaps a romantic Ice Castles proposal is in your future?
