Ice Castles are coming to Maple Grove this Winter (2023 – 2024)
We’ve loved Ice Castles since they first came to Minnesota in 2015.
They were in Eden Prairie, then Stillwater, then New Brighton, and now they’re coming to Maple Grove!
“The decision to move to Maple Grove comes after careful consideration and a desire to continually improve the guest experience,” said Ice Castles CEO Kyle Standifird. “In addition to our regular attention to improving the ice features we offer, one of the overall improvements we will see in Maple Grove is the availability of ample parking. We are dedicated to enhancing the guest experience in every possible way.”

What to Buy (& Skip) in October to Save Money 2023
Did you know that there are different things on sale each month of the year?
A while back I put together a Month to Month Shopping Guide that lists the best items to buy each month to save money!
Here I am highlighting the best items to buy this month!
October
Halloween deals are happening this month! However, note that the best deals are right before and right after Halloween.
It’s also pizza month so watch for pizza deals!
Or make this homemade pizza recipe!
Plus, National Taco Day is October 4th, so watch for taco deals!
October 7th is Frappe Day – make this homemade frappuccino!
October is the best time to buy:
Tires and car supplies are discounted for Fall Car Care month.
Halloween candy, decorations, costumes – the closer to Halloween, the better the deals, but the lower the selection
Summer clearance items; best time to stock up on next summer’s patio furniture or buy a grill
Appliances and vacuums: New models arrive so you’ll find sales on last year’s kitchen appliances and washers and dryers
Winter gear: Get good early deals on coats, hats and scarves
Camping gear, as summer camping season comes to an end
Travel! Warm destinations want to attract families now that kids are in school, and it’s not yet the holiday season. (I recommend visiting places right here in the midwest – check out my travel page!)
Cars! October through December is when dealerships are trying to get rid of old models. Bonus – go at the end of the month as they’re most motivated to meet sales quotas. Check out my guide “5 Tips for Buying a Car for Less.”
What NOT to Buy Right Now:
Electronics. These will go lower in price next month for Black Friday so wait if you can.
Seasonal produce on sale now:
Acorn squash
Apples
Beets
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Butternut squash
Cabbage

Free Valleyfair Pre-K Pass for 2024 for Children Ages 3-5 (Now Available)
Families with preschoolers! The FREE Valleyfair Pre-K Pass for 2024 is now available. With this pass your 3 – 5 year-old can get in to Valleyfair and Soak City for unlimited FREE visits during the 2023-2024 season.
Yes! That means they can go now – fall 2023 – through 2024!
The process changed last year. Now you have to purchase a Gold or Platinum Pass (which you would use for yourself), and then you register your child online for the free pass.
This makes sense, since your child can’t visit alone, and a season pass is the best deal if you want to get multiple visits in.
Here’s what you have to do:
Step 1: Purchase a Gold or Platinum Pass.
Step 2: Register your child online for their free Pre-K Pass by August 1, 2024. (Guests may not register at the park.)
Step 3: After registering your child/children online, bring them to the park on a public operating day to activate their pass at the main entrance by August 1, 2024. Make sure to bring your child and a valid birth certificate or passport that shows their age.
Step 4: After you activate your Pre-K Pass, your child can come and go as often as you’d like throughout the season – for FREE!
