🧊 Gaylord Opryland’s ICE! Returns with Home Alone Theme for 2026-2027 Season

For families and holiday enthusiasts across the region looking for a festive winter getaway, Gaylord Opryland’s signature ICE! attraction is returning with a beloved movie twist. The immersive ice experience brings the McCallister house and iconic scenes from Home Alone to life through hand-carved sculptures and interactive walk-through passages.

📅 When & Where to Visit

ICE! runs from November 6, 2026, through January 2, 2027, at Gaylord Opryland in Nashville. The attraction is kept at a chilly 9°F, and visitors receive a signature blue parka upon entry. Plan for 20-40 minutes inside, though guests can stay as long as they wish. Children 3 and under are admitted free. ❄️

🏠 What to Expect Inside

Over 2 million pounds of hand-carved ice transform the resort into a winter wonderland featuring 11 walk-through scenes. Visitors will journey through the McCallister house room by room, including the grand staircase-where guests can actually sled down. The experience captures iconic moments from the film: Kevin’s aftershave scene, the mannequin party, the battle-plan traps, and the Wet Bandits’ capture. ✨

Beyond the movie scenes, the attraction includes five ice slides, crawl-through passages, and ice tunnels. Live ice-carving demonstrations showcase the artistry behind the sculptures, and a Nativity scene carved from crystal-clear ice adds a festive spiritual touch to the holiday experience. 🎄
