During the #BloggersGoGlobal event in Kissimmee, Florida a couple of weeks ago, the bloggers attending had the opportunity to visit many attractions around the area. ICE! at the Gaylord Palms was one of them.
As you walk through over 20,000 square-feet of hand-carved ice sculptures in frigid 9-degree temps, there is so much to see and do — like sliding down one of the 30-foot ice slides!
The award-winning ICE! attraction is carved by a team of 40 artisans from Harbin, China. These talented artisans spend more than a month in Kissimmee, Florida creating this one-of-a-kind attraction.
Because the temperature is SO cold, you are required to wear closed toe shoes and wear a weather appropriate parka which is provided for you. But even with the parka and scarf, I was freezing. I’m super glad it doesn’t take about more than 30 minutes to walk through.
But seeing this beautiful hand-carved nativity made the frigid walk totally worth it.

I’ve gone twice, but not this year. I hope to go next year! Looks like fun!
The Mom Jen says
Oh and the parkas add um 20lbs…with the 10 from the camera alone, I look like I ate one of the ice babies! #OYF.
Jennifer Mercurio says
We went this year and it was so fun. And I agree with Jen, those stupid Parkas are not flattering AT ALL, lol
April Decheine says
Looks like a fun time! I know a thing or two about Parkas!
Karen says
Looks like you had a wonderful time! I am not a fan of parkas, either!

I never knew that this existed, yet I live an hour and a half away. I’m putting it on m list for the next time I’m in the area.

Wow! What a display! That’s so smart of them to provide a parka.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas! I’m so glad we’ve gotten the chance to connect online and in real life this year – it really makes blogging fun to meet other wonderful bloggers like you.
Happy Holidays!
Crystal says
Awww, Tesa — the feeling is mutual. I’ve loved getting to know you this year.
Merry Christmas!

Living down here, we have gone there only once, because it is WAY TOO cold for us. We moved down here to be WARM, TeeHee.
But, it was super amazing to see all the fabulous sculptured ice. I cannot believe how incredibly talented those artists are.
So glad you had such a great time down here – LOVE Global Resort Homes.

You and your thin skin! That’s the kind of attraction I would absolutely love!
