A Country Christmas & ICE! at Gaylord Opryland Resort

About this adventure

A Country Christmas at Gaylord Opryland Resort is an iconic Tennessee holiday tradition featuring more than three million twinkling lights and acres of festive indoor gardens. The signature highlight is the world-renowned ICE! exhibit, where master ice artisans hand-carve two million pounds of vibrant colored ice into massive walkthrough scenes, frozen slides, and a towering crystal nativity maintained at a brisk nine degrees. The holiday resort campus also offers indoor snow tubing on real snow slides, outdoor ice skating on a 9,000-square-foot rink, gingerbread decorating corners, Delta River flatboat holiday cruises under illuminated botanical canopies, and interactive family photo meet-and-greets with Santa Claus. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Atriums and walkways are fully ADA compliant with ramps and wide elevators; strollers must be parked in designated stroller parking before entering ICE!. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Multiple quiet family care lounges with glider chairs and changing tables are located in the Cascades and Delta Atrium complexes. • Age Suitability: All ages; warm parkas are provided for all guests entering the freezing ICE! exhibit (bring warm hats and gloves for little hands). • Sensory Tips: The interior gardens offer peaceful natural water features and soft lighting; the Pinetop snow tubing and carnival zones are lively with upbeat music.
