Hosting the largest ice maze in the world, we visited the Minnesota Ice Festival in Eagan! It was a nice sunny day and not too busy so we lucked out. Although this is a very family friendly environment, I would suggest the target demographic is for older kids and adults. That being said, our toddler still had a great time!


At the centerpiece will be the world’s largest ice maze ever constructed, awarded for a Guinness World Record. Spanning an awe-inspiring 18,000 square feet, the maze promises to be a stunning centerpiece, challenging guests to navigate its icy and LED lit paths while marveling at its scale and artistry.
Other features include:
Ice Slide - Featuring three lanes perfect for ice explorers of all ages
Warming House – Warm up with hot cocoa, comfort foods, and regional specialties in the large hospitality space.
Skating Rink – 3,500 square feet of ice with skates available for rent provided by Viking Lakes
Food Trucks – A selection of twin-cities favorite local food trucks.
Themed Ice Bars – Sip on handcrafted cocktails served with Pure & Clear Ice from Minnesota Ice.



For us, the skating rink and the maze were the best, and the food truck cheese curds weren't bad either!
Open to the public at Viking Lakes in Eagan on January 10, 2025, and will run through February 16, 2025.
