Visitors take a photo in front of the giant icicles. A preview of the Ice Castle at Dillon Town Park on Dec. 26, 2017 in Dillon. The acre-sized interactive features ice-carved tunnels, fountains, slides, frozen thrones, and spiraling towers embedded with color-changing LED lights that twinkle to music at night. The Ice Castle will open on Thursday December 28, 2017.

More than 30 feet tall, glittering by day and glowing shades of purple by night, the are a sight to behold, and plenty of people have made the trip to Town Park to catch a glimpse.
Ice Castles, the company that builds a half-dozen of the enormous ice structures in North America each winter, estimates that as many as 6,000 people have visited the Dillon castle each weekend since it opened in late December.
Business owners have taken notice, with some saying the attraction has doubled their January sales. Getting a table at the Arapahoe Café or Pug Ryan’s, always popular destinations during the high season, is harder than ever.
