I was in Yellowknife recently and had a chance to pop in to the Snow King’s Castle.

Each year a local Santa-Claus-esque guy, his small team of expert craftsmen and their horde of eager but inexpert helpers build a castle out of ice out on the frozen lake. It costs $5 to go in and have a look.
The castle includes a stage for performances on some evenings, and a slide for kids to enjoy. Alas, I was too busy to catch a show while I was in town (“Brrrrr-leseque” was on) and there were too many kids using the slide for me to have a go.

For $5, I’d say it’s worth a look.
