It is never too early to think about holiday plans! My family and I love visiting the Gaylord National Resort every holiday season, and it never disappoints! Mark your calendars, save the date, and grab the discounted tickets while you still can!
COOL New Holiday Attractions Are Coming to Gaylord National Resort
Guests to the resort this holiday season will experience an extra 7,000 pounds of ice with new attractions including Reindeer Rush Ice Tubing and an outdoor ice skating rink. The two offerings add to Gaylord National’s more than 2 million pounds of ice used to create colorful, life-size ice sculptures for the resort’s signature attraction, ICE!, presented by DEI©.
Thrill-seekers will love Reindeer Rush Ice Tubing featuring a four-lane tubing hill designed for all ages to zoom down inside the resort’s Christmas Village. Visitors can then head outdoors to ice skate in a newly created area, Winter Square, with views of the Potomac River. In addition to ice skating, Winter Square will include Tinsel Tavern, a tacky Christmas bar complete with adult and kid-friendly beverages.
The Capital Region’s must-see attraction, ICE!, will return and bring to life the classic 1957 holiday story of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The attraction will feature favorite scenes from the famous Christmas special through interactive ice sculpture displays including the Grinch lurking through the chimneys of the Who-ville homes, the Grinch’s heart growing three sizes and the feast where he carves the roast beast. Tickets start at $33 for adults ages 12 and older, $25 for children ages 4 to 11 and free for kids ages 3 and younger. Military pricing also is available.
Grinch fans will get another opportunity to see the star of the show at the resort’s Feast with The Grinch breakfast. Diners can enjoy a buffet of Who-ville inspired items, table-side visits with The Grinch and his trusted dog, Max, and decorative touches Dr. Seuss fans are sure to adore.
Visitors can experience numerous other attractions inside the resort’s Christmas Village during Christmas On The Potomac. Family and friends will delight in stories and freshly baked cookies with Mrs. Claus, gingerbread decorating, train rides, The Grinch’s Wonderful Awful Idea Scavenger Hunt and photos with Santa himself! They also can visit a Build-A-Bear Workshop© to make their very own furry winter friend – a cuddly, teddy bear plush, designed exclusively for Gaylord Hotels that can be personalized with cozy winter clothing and accessories.
The resort’s 19-story atrium is another area not to miss. Decked out with millions of twinkling lights, a 55-foot suspended Christmas tree and nightly laser light shows with an indoor snowfall, guests will be hard-pressed to leave without some holiday cheer.
The atrium also is home to Cirque Dreams Unwrapped. The 25-minute Christmas fable will return with new, spellbinding acts that will dazzle viewers with its spectacular costumes, soaring imagination, gravity defying feats and on-the-edge-of-your-seat excitement.
