A great adventure awaits! For a second year in a row, GetKnit Events and Minnesota Ice Sculptures have partnered together to hide 35+ ice sculptures throughout the greater Twin Cities at various local businesses, beautiful parks, iconic locations, and special neighborhoods! Gather up your fellow explorers and set out on a great ‘Exploration’ to locate these hand-carved works of art, and enjoy some deals and discounts along your self-guided journey between Friday, February 18 (starting at 4 PM) through Monday, February 21, 2022 (Presidents Day Weekend!). Ice Sculptures will range in size and shape from 3 to 10+ feet tall/wide and feature a wide range of spectacular subjects.

Gather up the 21+ year olds in you crew and visit all the eateries, taprooms, and cocktail rooms hosting an ice sculpture. Explore your favorites and visit your normal stomping grounds or experience new things and visit ice sculpture locations that are firsts for you. Slow play it and visit a few sculptures each day for the duration of the event. No matter what path you choose, be safe and make sure to check with any locations you plan to visit in advance so that you’re up-to-date on their current hours and policies.
