Guests are told to wear proper attire such as ski gear, because they will be sitting on ice in a building made of ice.The Crystal Grotto hosts concerts at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and select Fridays through April 4. Shows last about 45 minutes.Tickets are $10 each except for the Kids Show which is Saturdays at 3 p.m. when kids 12 & under are free.
