The days of icy slides and snowy tunnels on the Lake Geneva lakefront have come to an end.
The Lake Geneva ice castle closed for the season March 9, ending a six-week run as a new winter visitor attraction that drew crowds by the thousands to the city’s Riviera Beach.

The future of Lake Geneva’s ice castle winter attraction is up in the air, as organizers apparently have withdrawn their application to move the attraction to a new site.
Lake Geneva City Administrator David Nord said he believes Ice Castles LLC is dropping its bid for city approval to use Dunn Field for the outdoor frozen funhouse attraction.

If the ice castle opens as planned this winter at Geneva National Resort, several businesses in the region west of Lake Geneva are hoping to get in on the action.

TOWN OF GENEVA — The new ice castle has made a colorful, if belated, debut for sold-out crowds that are giving rave reviews for the outdoor frozen funhouse.
“It was a lot of fun,” said Randy Eilering, who traveled from Barrington, Illinois, with his family for the grand opening night of the ice castle at Geneva National Resort.

“We were able to open, and people enjoyed the experience,” ice castle site manager Jesse Stone said. “It was a safe and enjoyable experience, and that is what is important.”

The future of Lake Geneva’s ice castle winter attraction is up in the air, as organizers apparently have withdrawn their application to move the attraction to a new site.
Lake Geneva City Administrator David Nord said he believes Ice Castles LLC is dropping its bid for city approval to use Dunn Field for the outdoor frozen funhouse attraction.

“We were able to open, and people enjoyed the experience,” ice castle site manager Jesse Stone said. “It was a safe and enjoyable experience, and that is what is important.”
