The Marvelous Winter Wonderland In Texas That’s Made Entirely Out Of Ice
We don’t have many opportunities to walk through frozen tundras here in Texas, so this glittering land of ice is even more magical. Two million pounds of the frozen stuff, lights, and everyone’s favorite red-nosed reindeer make Gaylord Texan Resort’s ICE! one of our state’s premier holiday attractions. Check it out and try not to freeze!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

Two million pounds of ice fill this resort hotel during the holiday season. Hand-carved by master sculptors, the frozen holiday scenes look like they could come to life at any moment.
This year's theme is everyone's favorite red-nosed reindeer, so get ready for a trip to the North Pole! At a chilly 9 degrees, the temperature will definitely have you convinced.
Rudolph leads the way, followed by each of his antlered companions. Santa brings up the rear, and this almost eerily realistic looking group prepares to set off on Christmas Eve!
Giant ice slides plus a hill with real snow bring one of the most timeless winter activities to Texas. Race your friends and family to see who has the speed to help guide Santa's sleigh!
Whimsical scenes like railroad crossings, animals, and popular movie characters will bring about an innocent sparkle in the eyes of young and old. Frolic from one brightly colored exhibit to the next and experience pure, unadulterated joy.
More than one million lights, 12,000 ornaments, and a 52-foot tall rotating tree can also be found in this winter wonderland. Enchantment around every corner!
