The ice castles were open for just a few days, but the sculptures were already melting. Crews actually had to rebuild the castles after they melted in January.

Makers of the ice castles call the creations "a delicate dance with mother nature" and they say this year, she just didn't want to dance.

Anyone with tickets will get refunds.
