Christmas vacation is the perfect time to make magical memories with your family, and there’s no better place to do that than at the Ice experience at Gaylord Rockies in Colorado. This year, they’re bringing the enchanting world of The Polar Express to life with an incredible ICE! experience. From awe-inspiring ice sculptures to interactive fun, this winter wonderland is sure to captivate kids and adults alike. If you’re looking for a holiday adventure that combines festive cheer with unforgettable thrills, this is one Colorado destination you won’t want to miss!

Take a peek at Polar Express!

If you’re a fan of the movie Polar Express then you will love this adventure! When you walk in it feels like you have entered your favorite movie scenes. There are so many different photo opportunities. Have you ever dreamed that you could be a passenger on the Polar Express? Now you can sit in an Ice Polar Express which was so awesome and the kids loved it.

My favorite scene in the movie is the hot chocolate scene. Seeing that scene carved out in ice was pretty amazing and having the music added to it was so much fun to see. I was in awe with the work sculpted into this scene and it looked so real.

Every year that we go the kids all enjoy the slide area. This isn’t just a normal slide, it’s a slide that is completely made out of ice. So much fun to experience and must do if you go to the Ice experience. My 20 month old even went down the kids slide. He didn’t want to leave it.

It truly is a fun outing for the whole family and perfect to kick off your Christmas vacation. Along with your ice experience you can add on activities like cookies/story time with Mrs.Claus, Meet Santa, Gingerbread houses and so much more. This year we decided to not add on these because we did so many last year and we all still had a blast.
