Winter Magic at ICE! in Orlando

Get Ready for a Frosty Blast of Fun as Gaylord Palms Transforms Elf into a Life-Sized, Ice-Crafted Christmas Spectacle!
December 2nd, 2024
ICE! Featuring Elf at Gaylord Palms Resort Orlando transforms a holiday favorite into a breathtaking display of artistry and festive fun. This one-of-a-kind attraction recreates scenes from the beloved movie with over 2 million pounds of ice, meticulously carved by master artisans. The craftsmanship is extraordinary, with sculptures reaching up to 30 feet high and perfectly capturing the vibrant colors and charm of the film.
The 20,000-square-foot exhibit immerses you in 10 memorable scenes from Elf, each filled with whimsical details and photo opportunities. One standout feature is the two-story ice slides, offering a mix of excitement and dazzling design. Guests can also watch artisans demonstrate the intricate process of ice carving, which adds an educational element to the experience.
With the temperature set at a brisk 9 degrees, the provided parkas do a solid job of keeping the chill at bay. However, bundling up with gloves, a hoodie, or ear muffs is highly recommended for added comfort. Visitors can take their time exploring, with most spending about 30 minutes enjoying the display without feeling rushed.
The exhibit concludes with a stunning Nativity scene, adding a meaningful touch to the festive atmosphere. For those who want to enhance their visit, there are optional activities like tubing down ice slides, gingerbread house-making, snowball games, photos with Santa, Build-A-Bear Workshop, an Escape Room and a few shows—all of which come at an additional cost. Of course, there’s plenty of items to shop as well.
ICE! Featuring Elf is a standout holiday attraction that blends creativity, nostalgia, and winter wonder in a way that’s sure to delight guests of all ages. It’s a perfect way to celebrate the season and relive the magic of one of Christmas’s most cherished films.
