All pathways throughout the ICE! attraction are carpeted, and boots are not required. We do recommend wearing comfortable, walking shoes. Open-toed and high-heeled shoes are not permitted.

For overnight guests, Chill Pass offers front-of-line access and shorter wait times for ICE!. ICE! tickets are still required and must be purchased separately and in advance. The Chill Pass benefit is not for sale.

Other than your holiday cheer, you don't need anything to enjoy our attractions other than your e-ticket. All our indoor holiday attractions are kept at normal room temperature. For outdoor attractions and the ICE! tent, we recommend you dress warmly.
ICE! is a one-time-entry attraction. Because we want you to have the best experience possible, though, you may step outside of the exhibit to quickly warm up and then re-enter. You may not leave the attraction for an extended time - such as to get something to eat or enjoy another activity - and then re-enter.
Yes! The attraction was designed kids ages 1-100. It is something the whole family can experience together.
Additionally, our Winter Square, garden Atrium and Christmas Village offer a variety of different attractions that guests of different ages may like. There is truly something for everyone at Christmas at Gaylord National.
Yes! Big kids can join the fun! The ice slides are made for guests of all ages. Guests must be able to walk up the stairs on their own, to take a ride down the slides. Please keep in mind that you must wear one of the provided blue parkas to ride down the slides.
Time in the ICE! tent can vary for each group but visits inside the experience usually take about 30 minutes. Once you leave the attraction, be sure to continue your holiday experience through the extensive program of holiday activities available at the resort including the Christmas Village and Winter Square.
Please plan to arrive ten minutes before your time slot. Our resorts are very large so please consider any time necessary to walk from the parking lot to the Christmas attraction. If you arrive more than five minutes after your appointed time slot, you will not be allowed to enter.
It is very important that ticket holders are not late for their selected time slot. Capacity limits for each time slot are strictly adhered to ensure social distancing. Guests who are more than five minutes late to their appointed time cannot be guaranteed entry. Please visit Guest Services at the hotel to exchange your ticket for the next available timeslot, subject to availability.
