Description
The beloved Christmas tradition, ICE!, returns to Gaylord Texan Resort this holiday season featuring, for the very first time, the holiday classic, Elf™. Visited by millions over the years, ICE! is a larger-than-life frozen showcase featuring more than two million pounds of hand-carved ice sculptures, meticulously crafted into vivid, floor-to-ceiling scenes from treasured Christmas classics.
This 17,500-square-foot walk-through spectacle is a dazzling display of artistry and imagination, transporting visitors of all ages into the season’s most memorable stories. Tickets are now on sale.
A fan-favorite at Gaylord Texan since 2005, ICE! creates a vibrant, icy walk-through winter wonderland filled with more than 10 immersive scenes, thrilling two-story ice slides, and awe-inspiring passageways.
Kept at a frosty 9-degrees, the experience is made cozy with signature blue parkas and offers countless photo-worthy moments the entire family can enjoy.
ICE! is brought to life by forty master artisans from Harbin, China, home of the world-famous Harbin Ice Festival, who spend over a month sculpting these frozen masterpieces using more than 6,000 blocks of ice and a 300-page design book.
The ice exhibit is enhanced with vivid colors, LED lighting, and intricate detail that spotlight the carvers’ generational craftsmanship. Since its debut, ICE! has been a cherished holiday tradition, inviting families nationwide to celebrate the season through artistry, storytelling, and unforgettable frozen fun.
In addition to ICE!, Gaylord Texan will feature a robust lineup of classic and unique Christmas activities designed to check off every item on a holiday bucket list from exhilarating ice tubing adventures and interactive scavenger hunts to festive character dining and cherished photo ops with Santa himself.
