Over two million pounds of ice is hand-carved into larger than life ice sculptures in the 14,000 square-foot Igloo called The Ice Kingdom (located inside the Queen Mary’s Dome). This year's Ice Kingdom features a California holiday theme complete with breaking waves, dancing dolphins, and a Surfing Santa. Other special features include frozen scenes from The Nutcracker, walk-through castles, sugar plum fairies, a life-sized candy cane forest, penguin village, and four ice slides off of a 30’ high replica of The Queen Mary!
Each ice exhibit is hand-carved and created by an international team of expert ice sculptures from Harbin, China and enhanced with LED lighting to create a special visual effect like no other. Because they must keep it at a frosty nine degrees Fahrenheit to preserve the ice, guests will receive parkas to help protect against the frozen temperatures. TIP: You'll want to bring gloves!
Other fun activities at CHILL include:
- Ice Tubing - Tube in one of the six lanes of glistening ice slides standing two stories tall and 100-feet long in front of the Ice Kingdom,
- Ice Skating - Fun for the whole family no matter what time of day! If you're feeling romantic, skate under the stars on the 6,000 square-foot ice skating rink with a view of the picturesque Queen Mary ship,
- A Holiday Village - Enjoy a showcase of gingerbread houses, holiday carolers, the decoration adorned Candy Lane, and a visit with Santa Claus, and
- Snowman Bounce House.
“CHILL is a truly unique holiday experience that brings the cold festive weather of other areas right here to sunny Southern California,” commented Steve Sheldon, director of entertainment events at The Queen Mary. “Stepping into the Ice Kingdom immediately puts you in the holiday spirit.” CHILL will also feature nightly live entertainment, movies under the stars and festive food and beverages.
