You do not have to pay extra for these blue coats; they are included in the price of admission. Even with the extra coats, Jonah could barely stand to be in the room. We ended up rushing through after standing in line forever to walk through. He was seven at the time, so based on that I think your kid needs to be at least eight years old to withstand the cold. Your kids will need to wear gloves, hat, and a coat. If your kids have thermals, I would have them wear them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had to stand in line forever to get into the ICE! room. I recommend going at an off-peak time or buying a line pass. If you stay at the hotel, you get to bypass the regular line. I think this alone makes it worth staying at the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1030059.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1030059-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Gaylord ICE\" class=\"wp-image-7973\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1030059.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1030059-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mommytravels.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/P1030059-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The entire hotel is decorated inside and outside.
