The most wonderful time of year is my family together and our favorite place to go is the Gaylord Rockies.
The Gaylord Rockies is my kids favorite place to go for the holidays. When we check in, it’s like we are home.
ICE! featuring A Christmas Story™
We were so excited that ICE was back! The entire ICE experience is absolutely incredible. ICE! is kept at a chilly 9 degrees. While warm clothing is recommended, Signature Blue Parkas are provided. The average time is about 20-40 minutes however there are no time limits.
This will be our 3rd ICE experience and every time is so unique and impressive. I love watching the kids enjoy each theme and unlock their imagination. The kids love the ice slides and we like to races as a family! Special tip you need to wear the parka so you can slide fast!
Cirque: Spirit of Christmas
I grew up doing competitive gymnastics and am so excited to see shows with such talent. The Gaylord Rockies and their Cirque shows feel like you are seeing a show in Vegas they are so elevated.
Below was in 2022 Cirque show! Every year continues to get better and better! My kids don’t take their eyes off the show!
Know before you go! The show is 75 minutes, no intermission. All performances utilize assigned seating. There is not a bad seat in the house!
Gingerbread Decorating Corner
Decorating holiday cookies is quite possibly my favorite family activity. I love how we can have everything provided for cookie decorating. We had the best time!!
We typically do a contest where I post our cookies and get votes. We are a pretty competitive family so its fun to all do our best cookie decorating skills!!
This year we did the Gingerbread family instead of a house which was really fun! Last year we did the Christmas ornaments! I made the decorated the dog for our dog Manga!
Mrs. Claus’ Christmas Traditions
This was the first year to do the Mrs. Clause Christmas Traditions and wow was it darling! What is more special than Mrs. Clause reading Christmas stories while having a cookie and milk! This was the perfect activity before bed!
Pool Time
The boys love the pool at the Gaylord Rockies. Eero could stay at the pool all day and night. I love to hang poolside while Michael is in the water with the boys!
Build A Bear
Eero has recently got into Pokemon and we visited the Build A Bear inside the Christmas Village. He picked out Pikachu and was so excited to create the plushie during our holiday family vacation!
Buddy Traveled to the Gaylord Rockies
We stayed at the Gaylord during the holidays and thankfully Eero’s Elf was able to come!
Buddy knew we were going to the Gaylord and was packed and ready to go! Which made our vacation even more special.
The Relache Spa
One of my personal favorite things is to get a massage while the kids and I mean Michael and the boys play. The Relache Spa is a luxurious spa and my favorite treatments are the hydra facial and the massages. If you are a parent who needs to get pampered I highly recommend a spa treatment during your stay!
Mountain Pass Sports Bar
Michael and I love to watch sports and have a low key vibe. The Mountain Pass Sports Bar is our favorite to dine at the Gaylord Rockies. The Bloody Mary drinks are my favorite and I also love the nachos. The menu is elevated yet very kid friendly!
Our family has found our annual Christmas vacation destination and that is the Gaylord Rockies. Whether you stay for one night or a whole weekend. I can ensure you to have the best time ever making holiday memories that last a lifetime!
