Anyone been to the Ice Castles in Lake Geneva? Any tips for bringing young kids? I was thinking of pulling them on a sled.

We went last week. Dress warm, kids in snow suites. Definitely snow boots for adults, i saw some people in just sneakers and they had hard time walking inside. Agree with no sled, there isnt much space for it inside.

You can bring a sled but like @deficient said most people that did just carried it around. There is a lot for kiddos to explore, slides, tunnels etc

How young? We went last weekend with my 5yo. I can’t imagine pulling a sled around in there. There’s a big open space but lots of little coves and places to explore. We saw ppl with sleds but most basically carrying them.  Definitely dress warm, I made the mistake of only wearing jeans and not long johns or snow pants and I was a popsicle. Lol.

If they are mobile/running around just bring them and let them loose! Lol. I saw lots of Little’s having a blast. There are slides made of ice and things to crawl through etc. also hot chocolate and adult beverages

Went last year. Sled was only a problem because it’s not that big and it was busy. I took a strolled to get there and just left it before entrance not to carry my son.
