That’s right—over 7,000 blocks of ice weighing 300 pounds each are transported from the Flying Penguin Ice facility in College Station, one of the few facilities in the country capable of producing the massive, crystal-clear ice blocks preferred by master ice sculptors. Once delivered, these blocks are transformed into breathtaking holiday scenes that will leave guests in awe.
A talented team of ice carvers from Harbin, China—home to the world-famous Harbin Snow & Ice Festival—spend 37 days sculpting the ice into towering masterpieces, some reaching 30 feet tall. These artists regularly compete at the world’s top ice festivals, and the intricate sculptures they create for Moody Gardens are among the most unique displays in the U.S.
Now in its 11th year, Moody Gardens ICE LAND has grown into the largest holiday ice sculpture attraction in the United States. Inside the expansive 28,000-square-foot tent, guests can explore a dazzling winter wonderland featuring breathtaking ice sculptures, festive displays, and plenty of space to enjoy hot cocoa and shop for holiday treasures. This incredible frozen world is designed to immerse visitors in the holiday spirit and create unforgettable memories for the entire family.
This year’s theme, Christmas Around The World, celebrates holiday traditions from across the globe. Guests will explore larger-than-life sculptures, brilliant ice slides, and colorful holiday scenes that bring cultures together in a magical frozen experience.
