Something wonderfully strange is taking shape in Aurora. ice! featuring Disney “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” opens at Gaylord Rockies on November 20, 2026, bringing Jack Skellington, Sally, and their frozen world to Colorado through January 3, 2027. Expect towering sculptures, ice slides, and a journey from Halloween Town into Christmas Town.
Behind those familiar faces are master artisans from Harbin, China, transforming two million pounds of ice using carving techniques passed down through generations. Gaylord says the project takes 12,000 carving hours, with everything from chainsaws to detailed hand tools helping bring the characters to life.
The attraction stays at nine degrees, so this is one outing where you’ll want those gloves and hats. Parkas are provided, closed-toe shoes are required for the slides, and parking is extra. Grab your tickets online before heading over, and check the visitor guide to plan your visit.
