This past Monday we had the opportunity to go to ICE! featuring Dreamworks Merry Madagascar at Opryland. Oh my goodness, were my boys excited {and I will say I had a hard time sleeping the night before as well}.
We have lived here 5 years and haven’t been until this year. We are a pretty frugal family so the prices were a bit high for us to attend each year. However, if you go to a local Wendy’s or K-mart in the Nashville area, you can pick up coupons for your family. This definitely helps the wallet when buying your ICE! tickets.
ICE! is open from November 18, 2011 through January 3, 2012 at the Gaylord Opryland Events Center.
Gaylord Opryland’s popular ICE! event is returning this year with an all-new theme! Our ICE! artisans will be bringing DreamWorks Animation’s Merry Madagascar to Nashville in the form of 2 million pounds of larger-than-life colorful ice sculptures and incredible 20-foot-tall ice slides! Relive the story of how Alex the Lion and his friends saved Christmas after Santa and his reindeer crash onto the island of Madagascar. ICE! is hand carved by 40 artisans from Harbin China who will be arriving in Nashville early fall. They are very excited to be working with our new Merry Madagascar theme, and so are we! ICE!—which is sponsored by Delta Dental—will be bigger than ever in the new 40,000-square-foot Gaylord Opryland Events Center. There’s even an exciting new pre-show experience where you can get a behind-the-scenes look at how ICE! is created.
My boys loved every part of this outing, however, their favorite was the ICE slides! We all went down several times {yes, me and my pregnant self went down as well as my husbands 86 year old Grandfather who went with us}. It was loads of fun! Here is a short video of our time at ICE!
I’m excited to have a very fun giveaway for you and your family. Live in the Nashville area or in surrounding states?

I love going to the Opryland Hotel!We always go every time we’re in Nashville ( at least once a month).We went when they had SummerFest.It was like a party for families and their was line dancing and diffrent themes during the night (beach,country,and mardi gras.Lots of stuff for kids too!
I also love coming up and seeing all of the hotel decorated for Christmas and going to ICE!
Wow! Looks so wonderful! I love Madagascar specially the penguins! Looks like you had so much fun!
What a great family outing this would be!
I have been to see the Rocketts, but have never made it to ice I would love to win these!!!
We have lived in TN 7+ years and still haven’t gone! This would be an awesome gift for our growing family!!
I have never been to an event, but I can only imagine my kids faces light up when they see all the ice and their favorite characters…madagascar!
Wow love the video can’t wait to go!!!
Thank you for organizing this giveaway! We’ve always wanted to take the kids but it hasn’t been in the budget. *Fingers Crossed*
Thank you for the giveaway! We were just looking at Gaylord online last night!
We have been here in Tennessee for over 4 years and have yet to go to this (we are frugal too). My kids would love it!
I have visited there, but have not been to any events. My family would love this!!

WOW I wanna go I live 5 minutes away but like you I am too frugal. I would love to be able to take some kids since I’m unable to have any myself that otherwise could not afford to go. Thats how I would spend my ICE journey.
Every Easter weekend growing up, we attended the Lads/Leaders Convention at the Opryland Hotel and it was always beautiful and so much fun. I have never been to an actual “event” like Rockettes/Ice, etc. but have been to the hotel many times. Thanks for the chance to win
We love going to Gaylord/Opryland around this time of year. We haven’t made it out to ICE yet, but would really love to!
We are hoping to get to see ICE this year. DH will be in on R&R during the Christmas season, so it would be nice to go as a family.
I love forward to all the Christmas decorations at the hotel! I have never made it inside the hotel so I want to win these tickets!!!!!!
Gaylord Opryland is such a magical place. Some of my favorite memories when my boys were young occurred there. Now, I would like to return and make new memories with my grandson. It would make his day to “Move It, Move It” with the Madagascar characters and to slide on the big ICE slides!
Would LOVE to win! My SIL and BIL are going to take my toddler when my new baby is born so he can have something fun to do!
We’ve never been to anything at Gaylord Opryland although I’ve been there to see the decorations many years ago. Would love to win to take my granddaughters there.
We have been here in Nashville for 15 years andhave never been to Ice. Our kids would love it! Winning this would be the only way we could ever afford it.
We’ve been to the Opry Hotel but haven’t had the pleasure of attending ICE yet. We plan on going when school gets out but it’d be awesome if we could win tickets to go, especially since it’s a 3 hour drive each way.
and today is my birthday so it would be an awesome gift too 🙂
Growing up outside Nashville, I’ve visited the Opryland Hotel more times than I can count. Their Christmas decorations are always the best. Sadly, I moved before they started doing the ICE event each year, but I’ve always wanted to go. I would LOVE to win tickets.
Would love to win these tickets! I love ICE at Opryland!
