Get Frosty!
Time to trade those fall layers for a cozy parka–things are about to get chilly in one part of Music City!
From November 8th through January 4th, part of Gaylord Opryland Resort will be a cool nine degrees as the hotel welcomes back a favorite holiday tradition, ICE!
An immersive winter wonderland of ice sculptures, ice slides, and scenes from Frosty the Snowman, ICE! is brought to life by a team of forty expert artisans from Harbin, China.
Following a 300-page design book filled with sketches and blueprints to sculpt each individual piece –some as small as a coin and others nearly thirty feet tall– the artisans work for six weeks to create the 20,000-square-foot attraction. They use chisels, chippers, tongs, handsaws, grinders and even chainsaws to bring the experience to life.
Journeying through the attraction, guests will see two million pounds of ice transformed into familiar characters and scenes from the beloved television special, including Frosty, Karen, Hocus Pocus and more.
To preserve the frozen sculptures, Gaylord Opryland maintains a state-of-the-art chilling system, but there’s no need to pack coats (scarves, gloves and extra apparel are suggested for those who tend to get cold). Even though it’s cool inside, the resort provides parkas to keep guests warm as they zoom down ice slides, marvel at larger-than-life displays, and wander through the Arctic attraction.
While ICE! featuring Frosty the Snowman is Gaylord Opryland’s signature Christmas attraction, it’s just one of dozens of festive events and activities during the resort’s holiday season. With nine acres of décor, millions of twinkling lights, hundreds of Christmas trees, thousands of ornaments, dozens of holiday displays, and hours of family-friendly fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during So Much Christmas at Gaylord Opryland.
