Last year, Ice Castles were downtown along the shore of Geneva Lake. This winter, they'll be heading to a famous golf course.

For this year's festivities, Ice Castles will be moving over to the driving range at the beautiful Geneva National Golf Course.

Overlooking a large pond and gently rolling terrain, the golf course location makes it possible to build a bigger castle, measuring about an acre in size. The new address also allows for easier parking and the ability to have a gift shop stocked with Ice Castles souvenirs.

Workers are expected to start growing and harvesting icicles this month, with a target opening date in early January. Weather permitting, Ice Castles will stay open through early March. Hours are 4-10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and noon to 11 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Closed Monday.

Admission is $11.99 for children and $16.99 for adults during the week, or $15.99 and $20.99 on weekends. Like last season, kids under the age of 4 get in free. Tickets will go on sale at icecastles.com anywhere from a week to 10 days before the season premiere.
