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 1964 television classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Check out the Brightest Star Fountain Show featuring choreographed water and light dances to modern and classic Christmas songs. It's no wonder that participants are made up of both hotel guests and locals. METRO: Branch Avenue

Washington Local Expert
- Holiday Attractions, Things to Do with Kids: "Wear snow pants if you plan to careen down the ice slides and pay attention to the rules. No going down head first or on your belly."
- Best for Holiday Attractions Because: Combined with a bunch of different activities, the hotel is the only place to get indoor snow and huge ice slides.
- Best for Things to Do with Kids Because: While it is only offered in November and December, this event attracts tourists and locals.
