Kept at a bone-chilling 9 degrees Fahrenheit, the colossal 17,000-square-foot walk-through frozen wonderland showcases more than two million pounds of hand-carved, brilliantly colored ice sculptures created by a team of 40 world-class master artisans from Harbin, China. Guests slip into complimentary, calf-length blue parkas before stepping into 10 immersive walk-through galleries that recreate iconic Harry Potter scenes—including the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9¾, the Great Hall decked for the Yule Ball, and the mysterious Forbidden Forest. The icy adventure culminates in high-speed thrills down full two-story-tall ice slides carved entirely from crystal-clear blocks, followed by a majestic, solemn hand-carved ice Nativity scene in crystal clarity. ## Similar picks in Dallas–Fort Worth - [Christmas at Gaylord Texan with ice! featuring Harry Potter](https://grassyknees.com/dallas-fort-worth/activities/christmas-at-gaylord-texan-with-ice-featuring-harry-potter--listing-7a09c8fc25bf8164922d8bd5) — Nov 13 – Jan 3 · Gaylord Texan Resort, Grapevine · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 16.
