The Gaylord Texan, a luxary hotel and convention in Grapevine, offers a plethora of fun and festive activites that one can enjoy over the winter break.
The most popular event that The Gaylord Texan puts on is ICE! This year the ICE! display will tell the classic tale of Dr. Suesses’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. ICE! will have a lifesize ‘Whoville’ carved out of over two million pounds of ice. In addition, the exebit also features slides that attendees can enjoy with heights of over 20 feet. The exebit opened Nov. 12 and will run through Jan. 3. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 4-12. I suggest that you buy your tickets in advance. My friends and I attempted to go to ICE! last weekend, but unfortunately, the tickets were sold out.
Even though we were not lucky enough to attend ICE! we still had a fantastic evening at the Gaylord Texan. The lobby of the Gaylord was decorated ornately. The atrium, or lobby, had a total of over 1.2 million christmas lights and multiple tall and well decorated trees.
For guests staying at the hotel, the Gaylord Texan is offering a free breakfast with the Grinch.
