View the ice sculptures at the Vulcan Snow Park! Finished sculptures remain on display for the duration of the Winter Carnival and are individually lit after dark for a truly special viewing and photography experience. Bring your donations of non-perishable food or cash donations to support local food shelves.
Many different sculptures are on display. Fun fact: One cubic foot (a square block that measures 1' x 1' x 1') of compacted snow weighs approximately 30 pounds. The initial 8' x 8' x 8' blocks of snow used for the Minnesota State Snow Sculpting Competition can weigh around 7 tons or more. The finished competition sculptures weigh less, but still generally weigh well over a ton.
