There’s 10 million pounds of ‘Ice!’ at Gaylord hotels, Charlie Brown
Ice! at Gaylord hotels nationwide has returned for the holiday season, bringing a total of 10 million pounds of ice sculptures to five locations, along with other festive fun.
Over 200 artists created the Ice! installations, and Gaylord keeps each exhibit space at a cool nine degrees. Don’t worry, though; parkas are provided!
Each hotel’s Ice! attraction is themed to a different holiday film, bringing favorite characters and memorable moments to life.
