We experienced the Ice Sculpture Festival as very surprising and incredibly artful. The theme really appealed to us. The details of the sculptures were particularly refined and subtle.... A feast for the eyes. Compliments to the artists!!!

We ENJOYED!!!

Yesterday I visited your Ice sculpture exhibition in Zwolle. The creations and lighting of the objects made fantastic!!! Very many compliments for this great exhibition! Next year again!!!!

We really enjoyed the beautiful works of art. How easy it is to make a snowman when you see all these creations. In one word beautiful. Dress well though, it is quite cold in there.

I was absolutely blown away by the beautiful ice figures! The colorful lights gave a magical atmosphere to the whole event. It was great to see and experience the different themes, from traditional to modern. Highly recommended for a unique and enchanting outing!

How beautiful it was to walk through the hall, every time an oeee and aahhh how beautiful. Amazing what these artists have put up. We really enjoyed it. It was very cold but fortunately we were prepared for that with gloves and a thick hat and scarf. To be repeated and highly recommended for anyone who had to miss this time.

Maureen Modderman

Nice variety of large and small images with lots of details. The special photo locations are also top notch. Something for everyone. With the lighting effects, the ice bar and t seeing/talking to the carver, who was there himself at our time, we were informed and entertainted, a nice outing overall.
