As we travel around the country folks often ask us about what we do for fun up here in the winter. In addition to the regular stuff of ice fishing, snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, and winter camping, we normally need to bring up the Winter Carnival.
Founded in 1886 in Saint Paul, the carnival hosts ice castles, skating, ice works of art, and more. It is truly something very unique to Minnesota. If you have never need a four story ice castle, you haven’t lived! The carnival has numerous parades and other activities for the entire family.
