ICE! exhibit opens at the Gaylord Texan


I can't believe I live in Fort Worth, have lived here my whole life, and I had no idea about this exhibit. I've got to go check it out.

GRAPEVINE -- Looking to get into the holiday spirit?

The Gaylord Texan resort is providing everything from a giant Christmas tree and live reindeer to 2 million pounds of ice.

The third annual Lone Star Christmas kicked off Thursday night and runs through Jan. 5.

The ICE! exhibit returns this year with a 14,000-square foot exhibit of ice sculptures including a train depot, an igloo, a gingerbread family, a Nativity scene and three ice slides.

The exhibit, hand-carved over 34 days by 40 artisans from Harbin, China, is kept at 9 degrees. Visitors receive insulated parkas to keep them warm.
