The hotel and convention center annually presents this festive event featuring a bevy of activities that will get you in the holiday spirit. ICE! offers participants the opportunity to careen down slides over two stories tall made entirely of the solid-liquid. Each year has a different theme which they incorporate into over a million pounds of - you guessed it - ice. This year's theme is the beloved 'Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas.' Do not leave without checking out the show 'Cirque Dreams Unwrapped' in the Garden Atrium where performers put on a show on the stage and in the air. Once you come, you will understand why participants are made up of both hotel guests and locals. METRO: Branch Avenue
