Kept at an arctic 9 degrees Fahrenheit, “ICE!” will include other classic Peanuts characters like Lucy, Sally, Linus, and Peppermint Patty, as well as Charlie Brown’s famous little Christmas tree.”
In addition to seeing characters from the Peanuts gang, “ICE!” guests can ride down two-story-tall ice slides and visit Carver’s Showcase to see live sculpting demonstrations. “ICE!” concludes in a separate area dedicated to a Nativity scene, meticulously carved in a dramatic display of crystal-clear ice.
Plus, enjoy a sleigh-full of events and activities will be featured across the 64-acre resort.
