Ice at the National Harbor – (Nov. 20 to Jan. 19)

You’ve never experienced the holidays quite like this… An exhilarating combination of entertainment and activities, where you’ll be amazed by a spectacular 60-foot fountain and the crescendos of a live, caroling choir; where you can create a gingerbread treat as tasty as it is fun to make; and where you’re guaranteed to see snowfall every night… inside the resort! And where you can explore a life-sized winter wonderland carved from ice.  Tickets are available online here.
