## About

Step into an incredible winter wonderland kept at a chilly 9 degrees Fahrenheit, where master artisans from Harbin, China, hand-carve two million pounds of vibrant colored ice into immersive holiday scenes. Children can glide down two-story-tall real ice slides, wander through life-sized walkthrough ice rooms, and marvel at a towering crystal-clear ice Nativity scene.

Warm parkas are provided in all sizes, including toddler sizes, though parents should pack hats and mittens for little fingers. Outside the frozen exhibit, the resort's 4.5-acre glass-enclosed atrium features a 60-foot animated Christmas tree, light shows, gingerbread decorating corners, and live acrobatic stage performances. Strollers can navigate the paved atrium walkways, with stroller parking outside ICE!
