Ice! at Gaylord Palms  

November 14, 2009

Saturday 10:00am - 8:30pm

Detail:

This year, ICE! will take guests on a trip to the North Pole. Tag along on Santa's journey, beginning with an encounter with Old Man Winter, through an arctic forest, and into the middle of a Christmas Carnival, complete with a life-size carousel! Next, chill-seekers will be able to explore Santa's ornament room, climb onto his oversized knee (an unusual photo op!), and watch as he and reindeer take flight.

The attraction's signature scene--a life-size Nativity carved completely of crystal-clear ice--has been described as one of the most breathtaking depictions of the birth of Christ. Dramatic lighting and a stirring narrative track give guests an opportunity to pause and reflect on the story behind the season.

The award-winning attraction is carved by a team of 40 artisans from Harbin, China. The talented artisans spend more than a month in Kissimmee creating this one-of-a-kind attraction. Harbin is best known for its annual International Ice and Snow Festival, where more than 2,000 sculptors annually carve a 100-acre walk-through ice park, using ice from the nearby Songhua River.
