The Winter Ice Festival is back in 2026 on January 14, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24 & 25, with more special engagement nights to enjoy a stroll through the wintery grounds and have some winter fun!

Cheer on your favorite ice carver during Fire & Ice, a high-energy carving showdown featuring the pros from Rock on Ice. Each night at 7pm, artists race the 45-minute clock, and guests help choose the winner. Come early to watch warm-ups and stay after to meet the carvers.

Enjoy ice skating on the synthetic rink from 5 to 9pm. Bring your own skates or borrow a pair. Skating and rentals are free with admission.
