ICE! featuring Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

About this adventure

Gaylord National Resort's signature holiday attraction, ICE!, brings Dr. Seuss's beloved classic 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!' to vibrant three-dimensional life. Over 40 master ice artisans from Harbin, China spend weeks hand-carving more than two million pounds of crystal-clear and colorfully dyed ice into towering, walk-through scenes depicting Whoville, Mt. Crumpit, the Grinch, and Max the dog. Guests can whoosh down thrilling two-story slides carved entirely out of pure ice. The entire exhibit is kept at a frigid 9 degrees Fahrenheit to preserve the intricate sculptures, but Gaylord provides cozy, calf-length blue hooded parkas for every guest, including child and toddler sizes. Parents should dress kids in warm mittens, hats, and insulated winter boots. Beyond ICE!, the resort atrium features the indoor Snow Flow Mountain tubing hill, gingerbread decorating corner, and the nightly Christmas on the Potomac atrium light and laser fountain show. The resort has full elevator accessibility, and stroller parking is provided adjacent to the exhibit entrance.
