ICE! The Polar Express at Gaylord Rockies

Disclaimer: We were hosted by Gaylord Rockies during their media event. All photos and opinions are my own.

This weekend we kicked of the holiday season with a visit to Gaylord Rockies for their So Much Christmas event. We marveled at the intricate Christmas trees throughout the resort, watched in awe as acrobats did the impossible in Cirque Frost, ate delicious treats, shopped in Mistletoe Village, and so much more. But the highlight of our visit, as always, was the amazing exhibition ICE! 

This year ICE! features scenes from beloved holiday movie The Polar Express. Colorful ice sculptures depict the magic of The Polar Express with ten scenes made from hand carved ice. This immersive experience will delight visitors of all ages as they make their way through the chilly exhibition. With ice slides, interactive exhibits and a ton of photo opportunities ICE! is a holiday event not to be missed.

Spookadelia: The Fracture at Spectra Art Space

Spooky season may officially be over, but if you’re like me and love all things a little bizarre then you’re in luck as Spookadelia at Spectra Art Space is here to stay for at least the next few months!

If you’ve been here a while then you may remember our previous visits to the amazing immersive installations at Spectra Art Space. Over Summer we explored the nature based installation Nova Ita: Propagation and back in January we visited for the first time and experienced Spookadelia: Doubt’s Echo.

Just like these previous exhibitions, Spookadelia: The Fracture takes visitors on an adventure through a psychedelic world of wonder and magic with a spooky edge.
