We are now into the holiday season, and a must do is a visit to Gaylord Opryland in Nashville. Christmas at Gaylord Opryland is a magical experience for the whole family, and this year ICE! is better than ever!
This post is brought to you by our partners at Gaylord Opryland.
Here are the Top Reasons to visit Gaylord Opryland for Christmas:
ICE!
It’s a cool 9 degrees Fahrenheit inside, but their signature blue parkas are warm and toasty. Over 40 world-renowned master artisans spend over 6-weeks hand-carving approximately 2 million pounds of ice to create this one-of-a-kind Christmas attraction!
Join Charlie Brown on an arctic adventure at ICE! presented by PEPSI®.
ICE!, their signature holiday attraction, features favorite scenes from the beloved TV special, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” brought to life in magnificent hand-carved sculptures.
Ticket Prices: General Admission from $23.39
ICE! is an amazing experience for the whole family. It truly is like walking into an ice museum and viewing frozen art. This is a must-see if you visit over the holidays. This year’s theme is Charlie Brown with all the iconic scenes, and it truly is a wonder to experience!

Ice Tubing
Experience our 15-foot-high, four-lane ice tubing hill. It’s all the fun of sledding with the added speed of ice! Race friends and family to see who can reach the bottom first, or ride with a friend on a double tube. This is an absolute blast for kids and those who are young at heart! Hop on a tube and get ready for a festive and high-speed adventure. Our ice lanes offer all the fun of a day of sledding with the added speed of ice.
*minimum height requirement of 42 inches to participate. Other restrictions may apply.
The kids always love snow tubing and go so many times!
Ticket Prices: General Admission from $28.38
Ice Skating
Enjoy the perfect day or evening under the stars by going on a yuletide glide at our 9,000-square-foot outdoor skating rink made with real ice. Lessons available.
My kids have only been ice skating a handful of times, and this rink is a great way to introduce them. The rink has many blue push helpers to assist learning skaters.
Ticket Prices: General Admission from $28.38
Bumper Cars
Enjoy classic bumper car rides in the great outdoors. Get ready to slide and glide during this action-packed experience.
These bumper cars were so fun! They were fun to drive and the bumping was some of the smoothest bumping I’ve experienced in bumper cars.
Gingerbread Decorating Corner
Don’t wait – make a date to decorate! Let your Christmas creativity run wild when you adorn your gingerbread house or cookies. After you’ve decorated to your heart’s content, make your way to visit the Gingerbread Bakery.
This area was hopping! So many fun houses were being built, and you can even order some hot chocolate while decorating. Don’t miss a photo opportunity with the Gingerbread man!
Ticket Prices: Ticket from $29.99

Photos with Santa
Mailing a letter to the North Pole is great, but nothing can beat a personal visit with Santa Claus to let him know what you want for Christmas and make sure you’re on his nice list. Capture the moment with a keepsake photo.
Don’t miss out on seeing the big guy! This a perfect opportunity to snag those Santa photos!
