ICE! Returns To Aurora's Gaylord Rockies Resort

For the first time since 2019, Gaylord Rockies Resort will bring back ICE!, a wintery, festive wonderland created by expert master artisans who, impressively, hail from 7,000 miles away in Harbin, China.

These artisans work incredibly hard to carve and chip away at two million pounds of colorful ice over the course of several weeks to create the incredibly unique and unparalleled experience visitors will be in for beginning this November.

What To Expect 

Visitors will get the chance to see and experience the story of A Charlie Brown Christmas! in "larger-than-life sculptures"  and more.

"See Charlie Brown, his canine sidekick, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang re-created in larger-than-life sculptures and even plunge down slides made entirely of ice in this Gaylord Hotels original experience", the Gaylord Rockies website reads.

"We can’t wait for our guests to experience the magic and wonder of ICE! during this year’s Christmas at Gaylord Rockies celebration," Suzy Hart, general manager of Gaylord Rockies Resort said.

"ICE! is a one-of-a-kind attraction and we’re excited to welcome this Gaylord Hotels tradition back this year with ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ and all the beloved Peanuts characters in the classic holiday story.

Gaylord Rockies' ICE! exhibition will return Friday, Nov. 18.

Additional Holiday Festivities At Gaylord Rockies Resort

Aside from Gaylord Rockies' epic ice experience are other great and exciting holiday activities and events for the entire family to enjoy. That includes the resort's family-friendly cirque show, "Cirque: Spirit of Christmas" which will feature high-flying stunts, acrobatic feats, and elaborate staging. The show will be held at the resort's Bubly Theater.

In addition, Gaylord Rockies said its other holiday season activities this year include snow tubing, ice skating, a Naughty or Nice escape room and Mistletoe Village with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, a gingerbread decorating elf training academy, and even a Build-A-Bear Workshop.
