With Halloween over and November well underway, it’s time to start getting into the holiday spirit. One of the best ways to celebrate the season is by visiting Gaylord National to take in their magical Christmas lineup of activities and events.
The popular interactive ice display, Ice!®, is making its return to the Gaylord National after a two year hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. 40 artisans from Harbin, China are currently creating the frozen attraction from 2 million pounds of ice. The entire process takes six weeks.
This year, the 17,000 square feet immersive experience will feature scenes from the classic Christmas movie, A Christmas Story carved out of ice. You will be able to get up close to your favorite characters from the movie and even take a ride down a slide made entirely out of ice.
The display is kept at a constant temperature of 9 degrees but blue parkas are provided to keep you warm. There will also be a nativity scene made from ice. The entire experience typically takes 20-40 minutes but there is no time limit. Buy your tickets for Ice!® now to take advantage of special pricing.
In addition to Ice!, Gaylord National will have ice bumper cars, snow tubing, ice skating, Christmas shows, photos with Santa and stunning Christmas lights and decorations throughout the resort.
