You leave whatever's going on behind you and enter the castle and just have fun with your family.
It's just a really magical place in here.
When you come inside here, it's something like no other.
We harvest like 10,000 icicles a day.
We'll run water over rags or stuff like that, and just every morning guys would come in, harvest the icicles we'll go around, and then after that we'll place them in spots.
Regular icicles on a cold night will really beef up and turn into like pillars.
In the winter there's not really much things going on, so it's kind of a way to get families to come outside and distract themselves for a bit, Especially like in times, like right now, you know with the whole COVID and everything else going on as big as, it's kind of a distraction once you come into the castle, you know it makes it pretty magical in here.
