One of Galveston Island's premier attractions is getting ready for Christmas!

From November 11th through January 7th, Moody Gardens will offer families the chance to visit eight holiday attractions, all at one venue. They include:

ICE LAND: Rainforest Holiday

Guests are taken on a spectacular journey through the wonders of rainforests from around the world. Take in monkeys, beautiful birds, colorful butterflies, orchids and so much more as leaf cutter ants carry Christmas lights and other decorations to a magical place – all hand-carved from ice. A skilled team of master ice carvers from Harbin, China will take visitors on a whole new level of cool with a trip that features a giant ice slide that takes guests from the tree tops through to the forest floor, where they will find ancient ruins and rivers. It is carved from 2 million pounds of ice that is kept at a constant 9 degrees.

Festival of Lights

This one-mile lighted walking trail is filled with more than 100 sound-enhanced light and animated displays themed to holiday music favorites.

As for other holiday attractions, how about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 4D and The Polar Express 4D? The fun continues with the Cirque Joyeux Noel Dinner and Show at the Moody Gardens Convention Center, the area’s only outdoor ice skating rink, the Arctic Ice Slide, holiday movies in the MG 3D Theater and train rides.
