Experience the beloved ICE! Attraction featuring a Christmas Story™

Embark on a magical journey through larger-than-life, immersive scenes from the iconic classic ‘A Christmas Story™' carved from over two million pounds of boldly colored ice. In the one-of-a-kind holiday experience ICE!, you'll zip down two-story-tall slides made of pure ice, traverse through immersive ice tunnels and arches, and step into colorful, multi-sensory scenes like the old man's major award, Aunt Clara's pink nightmare, the ultimate triple dog dare at the school's flagpole, and more! 
  • THE 'A CHRISTMAS STORY™' SCENES & CHARACTERS YOU KNOW AND LOVE

    THE 'A CHRISTMAS STORY™' SCENES & CHARACTERS YOU KNOW AND LOVE

    Over 40 world-renowned master artisans spend over 6-weeks hand-carving approximately 6,000 blocks of ice to create this one-of-a-kind Christmas attraction! With over 17,000-square-foot and 10 immersive scenes, here's a peek at some of our favorite scenes you won't want to miss! 
    • FRAGILE: The Old Man's Major Award

      FRAGILE: The Old Man's Major Award

      "Fra-GEE-lay. It must be Italian!" There are few decorations that can beat the Leg Lamp. Step into Ralphie Parker's 1940s home and see the iconic leg lamp gleaming proudly in the front room window. Don't miss a selfie with the iconic Old Man's Major Award, and a chance to climb into the "fra-GEE-lay" shipping crate!
    • Flick's Tongue Sticks to the Flagpole

      Flick's Tongue Sticks to the Flagpole

      Can you really get your tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole? There have been many skeptics that learned the hard way that you can. This time, the flagpole will be made of ice!  Take it from Flick: Don't stick your tongue to anything frozen when you visit ICE! this holiday season. But sticking out your tongue next to the flag pole scene makes a great selfie. Relive the universal and timeless scene that continues to remind us that kids will be kids. We triple-dog-dare you!
    • Ralphie Visits Santa Claus

      Ralphie Visits Santa Claus

      ICE! re-creates the department store Santa scene from A Christmas Story™ — complete with slides! See Santa and his elves, larger than life and carved out of vibrantly colored ice. Then, zip down a frozen chute just like Ralphie. You'll zoom down a two-story slide as a department store Santa watches from above. It's a whimsical re-creation of a memorable scene you just have to experience when you go!
    • Aunt Clara's Pink Nightmare

      Aunt Clara's Pink Nightmare

      We've all received a gift that was not on our list, but Ralphie's pink bunny suit puts all of our mediocre gifts to shame. Soak in the second-hand embarrassment as Ralphie debuts Aunt Clara's gift on the staircase in all his pink glory. Bonus points if you can recount any Christmas gift horror stories with the family. Don't worry, Ralphie — you only have to wear it when Aunt Clara visits. (And we won't tell anyone.)
    • O Holy Night Nativity Scene

      O Holy Night Nativity Scene

      The ICE! experience concludes in a separate area dedicated to a Nativity scene, meticulously carved and shaped into a dramatic display of crystal-clear ice.
