Charlie Brown and Friends welcome visitors such as Alexandrians Maya, left, and Helena to ICE!

Alexandria, VA – Colorful versions of Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang greet visitors to ICE! at Gaylord National all carved from over two million pounds of ice by 30 master ice artisans from Harbin, China. The incredible ICE! show, a Gaylord tradition, is at the heart of Gaylord’s Christmas facilities which also includes ice slides, Santa’s Village, Snowball Blasting and more. A special Christmas themed Cirque show, with tickets purchased separately, delights visitors in Gaylord’s atrium. Three Alexandria visitors, Helena, Audrey and Maya, recently sampled many of the activities and heartily recommend a family outing to experience it. For more details visit christmasatgaaylord.com.
