Great view of the Ice Palace.


 Bring your own Ice Skate and go ice skating for  only $2.
I think they rent skates too.


The Vulcans are so short, they had to stand on some ice blocks to
see the Ice Palace over the crowd of people. :)


Former King's Guards pose in front of the Ice Palace.


People are sticking coins to the Ice Palace and making a wish.


Thousands of coins!


The waited in line to get in to the Ice Palace, it only took me 10 minutes.
Not bad, the line was long but moved fast.


Volunteers selling Saint Pail Winter Carnival buttons.


I ran into the Royal Family.

7th Street is closed off between the Xcel Center and the Ice Palace
for Shuttle Buses and Food venders. Great Chili! :) 

 
Volunteers everywhere helping me find all the things to see.

 
I found this taste treat at the Landmark Center.


Ice and Snow carving out side the Landmark Center.

 
This guy has 12 feet tall or more.

 
I found this fish in an Ice Block on the outside wall across from the Holiday Inn.


I had a great time downtown and this is just a few of the great pictures I took.

The Ice Palace will be gone soon and with plans to build on this site, this may be the
last Ice Palace build in downtown St. Paul. I you can, make sure to get down there to see it.
See the pictures I took of the Ice Palace Construction
