Get lost in winter: Stillwater opens an ice maze Maze tickets give holders one hour to explore January 23, 2021 6:04am Text size Copy shortlink:
A construction crew in Stillwater this week hoisted 300-pound ice blocks into place and then, with chain saws buzzing, cut and shaped their frozen creation into a towering ice maze.
The parking-lot-sized maze filled with ice sculptures and an ice slide was opening to the public Friday evening, but how it came together was something of a leap of faith, said Bil MacLeslie, production manager for the Zephyr Theatre in Stillwater s north end.
Faced with a winter without shows or audiences, the Zephyr joined the city s effort to make outdoor winter attractions to keep crowds and add a bit of life to the usually thriving downtown.
