I finally got to experience the ICE! exhibit in Nashville—something I’ve wanted to do for years but just never made the time for. And honestly, it was worth the wait.
First things first… it was cold. A whopping 9 degrees to be exact. The kind of cold that hits you the second you walk in and makes you question your life choices for about two seconds—until you take it all in. They hand you a parka at the entrance, which was plenty for me. Curtis, on the other hand, came fully prepared with three layers, his heavy jacket, and the parka. To each their own.
Walking through the exhibit was such a cool experience (literally and figuratively). Every detail was so well done, and when you stop to think that everything you’re looking at is carved from ice, it adds a whole extra layer of amazement. The colors, the designs, the craftsmanship—it’s one of those things you really have to see in person to appreciate.
After we thawed out, we spent some time walking through the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, and that alone is an experience. The holiday decor was everywhere—every corner, every walkway, every little space had something festive. It’s the kind of place you could wander through for hours and still find something new to look at. Absolutely beautiful.
If this has been on your “one day” list like it was for me, take this as your sign to go ahead and make the time. And before you book, check Groupon—you might be able to snag discounted tickets.
