ICE! Carver Showcase
While experiencing the arctic artistry inside ICE!, visitors can see the magic come to life in the Carver's Showcase, as a master artisan creates ice sculptures in live demonstrations. Ice carving is a way of life for many in Harbin, China - so much, in fact, that it is known as "Ice City" and is home to the world's largest annual snow and ice carving festival. -
O Holy Night Nativity Scene
The ICE! experience concludes in a separate area dedicated to a Nativity scene, meticulously carved and shaped into a dramatic display of crystal-clear ice.
