Become a modern-day Sherlock Holmes in Jack Frost’s Frigid Finds Scavenger Hunt. This fun search involves riddles and hints taking sleuths through a race to find all of the clues. Families can work together to solve the puzzles to win a prize. To take part in the scavenger hunt, tickets must be purchased in advance online.

Head to the Frigid Fun Zone to take part in crafts and other fun activities like cookie decorating. Take a ride on the Riverboat Ride and enjoy the cruise down the resort’s 4.5-acre Delta Atrium. Outside, guests can go on a private horse-drawn carriage ride through the more than 3 million twinkling lights adorning the Magnolia lawn. Back inside the resort, head to the atriums to watch the Winter Fountain Shows to see a spectacular display of water synchronized with lights and music.

At Pinetop, the resort’s “Appalachian-esque” outdoor area, guests can experience an array of active outdoor fun. Hop into an ice bumper car and maneuver around other bumper cars. Families and guests looking for more of a thrill can ice tube down the resort’s four-lane, 15-foot hill made of real ice. The resort also boasts a 9,000-square-foot skating rink for guests to enjoy.

Gaylord Opryland Resort’s all-new Fire & Ice Skating Show will appear at Pinetop, as well. The show will include champion skaters, fast spins, big jumps and jaw-dropping throws and lifts.
