ICE! featuring ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

Christmas at Gaylord Palms

See Ma in her kerchief, Pa in his cap and more as the classic holiday poem, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, is brought to life in TWO MILLION pounds of hand-carved ice sculptures, including two-story tall ice slides. This awe-inspiring experience concludes with the wonder and majesty of a full Nativity in stunning, crystal clear ice. Christmas in Orlando is fun for the entire family at the Gaylord Palms Resort.

ICE! is an indoor winter wonderland featuring:

• Walk-through holiday attraction, kept at a chilly 9 degrees

Come visit Alpine Village and zoom down an eight-lane tubing hill that’s fun for all ages and covered in REAL SNOW! Double riding tubes are available for parents with small children. Where else will you find real snow in Orlando?
