CHILL is back at the Queen Mary: November 22nd - Jan 5th

 

Disclosure: I will be attending a CHILL media event with my family. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I am so excited that this event at The Queen Mary is back again!
We missed it last year and when I saw all the great pictures of my friends enjoying
all the amazing CHILL-y fun that CHILL has to offer I was kicking myself.

 The giant dome next to the Queen Mary - which used to be home to the Spruce Goose - 

is transformed into an amazing igloo and becomes the home of The Ice Kingdom.

This winter wonderland features ice creations that tower over 2.5 stories tall and use more

than TWO MILLION POUNDS of ice.

 This year The Ice Kingdom transports guests into The Nutcracker Story.

Even though I've never been, I have it on good authority that you will need to bring

your gloves, scarves, wool socks and beanies because temperatures in The Ice Kingdom

drop to a CHILL-y 9 degrees to keep The Ice Kingdom looking pristine.

Guests will receive parkas to protect them from the frigid climate, but be sure you

also dress warmly. This isn't a flip flops and Bermudas kind of event.

In addition to the The Ice Kingdom, activities during the CHILL festivities also include:

Ice Tubing 

Guests 45" and taller can grab a giant tube and race down one of six ice slides

standing two stories tall and 100-feet long.

Ice Skating

Rent skates for $2.95 and glide around the 6,000  square foot ice skating rink

and let your inner Chazz Michael Michaels out for the world to see.

Holiday Village

Gingerbread houses, holiday carolers, and Santa Claus, oh my! That's what visitors

will find in the holiday village, along with Candy Lane, the world's largest rocking horse,

and a snowman bouncy house. It's fun for all!
