Enjoy entertaining stories in historic buildings and among the ice sculptures about ice palaces, parades and unique sports events through the decades. (It was originally called The Saint Paul Winter Sports Carnival!) More than Vulcans and King Boreas, the Winter Carnival is about bouncing teams, jigsaw puzzles and hot dish contests!
