This Frozen Carnival In New Jersey Is One Winter Activity You Won’t Soon Forget
Call your friends, gather the kids and get going! Going where? To a magical carnival that brings the film “Frozen” to life. While it may feel like we’re living in the movie right now, I can assure you that this icy experience will be much more enjoyable. Skylands Stadium is hosting an ice sculpture extravaganza and it’s sure to be unforgettable.

This year's Frozen In Ice Carnival has a Wild West theme and will feature more than 100 tons of ice, transformed into breathtaking displays by the talented ice artists at Sculpted Ice Works. Visitors can watch live sculpting demonstrations and help judge ice sculpture competitions - it's very interactive! This event will delight both children and adults and offers countless photo opportunities for your scrapbook (or social media feed).
A highlight is the giant 50-foot ice slide for guests 36" and over. There will also be a smaller ice slide for younger children. You can navigate your way through an ice maze, enjoy cocktails in an ice saloon, and grab some sweets at an ice candy shop! Play ice games and carnival games, skate at the outdoor rink, snack on hot dogs, sip hot cocoa, stop at the fire pit and make some s'mores...there's just so much fun to be had.
Wherever you live in the Garden State, I'd say it's worth a trip. Where else in New Jersey can you find something like this? Located less than 30 minutes from Mountain Creek - why not make this part of a ski weekend? If you live nearby, even better! Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors (65+), military personnel, and children 12 and under, and free for children under 38." You can save big (up to $5) on discount nights or score tickets at participating Walgreens for a $3 discount. There are also special promotions that offer free food and drinks, carnival ride tickets, and more - parking is always free.
