ICE! at Gaylord Palms

Now through January 3, enjoy the coolest exhibit in the Orlando area as ICE! returns to the Gaylord Palms and Convention Center in Kissimmee, FL. This holiday attraction is carved from nearly 2 million pounds of ice. The colorful and crystalline sculptures of ICE! are carved by a team of 40 artisans from Harbin, China, who spend more than a month in Kissimmee creating this one-of-a-kind attraction.

To save time and money, tickets can be purchased in advance online. Dress warmly as well—bring hats, gloves and closed toe shoes because the exhibit is kept at a frigid 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Long blue parkas will be provided, especially for anyone who wants to slide down the ice slides. Other highlights include a frozen carousel, colorful ornaments and other characters, Santa Claus, and a beautiful nativity scene. At the end of your journey through a Winter Wonderland, kids can have their photos taken with Santa and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa at the Gaylord Palms atrium lounge.
