Wild West in ice sculpture at Skylands

Augusta — The Wild West is stocked with some of the most captivating characters in American history and, for some of us, the most vivid scenes of our childhood imagination. Are you a notorious outlaw, a heroic sheriff or a fearless pioneer? Saddle up and ride into Skylands Stadium’s Frozen In Ice: Wild West, featuring a life-sized Wild West village made entirely out of ice.
Venture inside the Skylands Stadium Event Center and marvel at the ice town carved by the master sculptors at Sculpted Ice Works. The Wild West village is completely interactive and features everything you would find in the old American Frontier. If your little Billy the Kid gets caught by the long arm of the law, take him inside the ice jail for a fun photo. After a long day on the trail, head to Skylands Stadium’s ice saloon, featuring delicious signature drinks from Wyatt, the bartender. The village will also feature a bank, a trading post, animal sculptures and more.
Frozen In Ice: Wild West is more than an interactive trip back in time. It is also jam-packed with fun and games for the young and young at heart. Back by popular demand, the giant ice slide will be the centerpiece of the Skylands Stadium Event Center. Take a ride down this one-of-a-kind, 50-foot ice slide for exhilarating, icy fun. There will also be a kids’ ice slide for young children who want to be part of the excitement.
In addition to the ice slides, the lower level of the Event Center will feature interactive games made of ice, an ice maze and an ice candy store with real candy for purchase. The upper level of the Event Center will have carnival games and prizes, hot food and hot beverages available for purchase.
The icy fun continues outdoors. Up on the right field picnic pavilion, enjoy outdoor skating no matter the weather with Skylands Stadium’s new never-melt ice rink. The rink is made of synthetic ice, making picturesque outdoor skating possible regardless of the temperature outside. Ice skating can be enjoyed for $10, which includes your ice skate rental and 20 minutes of skating. Also on the pavilion, warm up by a crackling fire and make your own tasty treats at the S’mores Fire Pit, sponsored by ThorLabs.
The pavilion will also feature unique ice carving entertainment. On select days, professional ice artists will be performing live ice carving demonstrations and you can help judge their creations.
Frozen In Ice: Wild West is presented by the talented artists from Sculpted Ice Works who carve and build everything inside the village from giant blocks of ice. Over 100 tons of ice is transformed for this spectacle and the Skylands Stadium Event Center is kept near freezing temperature to keep the sculptures intact, so please remember to dress warmly.
