This past Saturday, I went to enjoy CHILL on the famous Queen Mary in Long Beach for the grand opening weekend! I had a blast at this event last year and was so excited to be invited back to the Queen Mary to visit again and share all about my experience with all of you!

If you have never been to CHILL, aboard The Queen Mary, it is definitely a sight to see!  This event is complete with an Ice Kingdom, ice tubing, ice skating, and many more hands on activities for kids to enjoy! My personal favorite that I love is the Ice Kingdom!

Posing with Surfin Santa made of ice – CHILL on The Queen Mary in Long Beach

This season The Ice Kingdom at CHILL showcases the holidays in the Golden State with the magic of a California Christmas theme meticulously hand sculpted by a team of international artists, and made entirely out of 2 million pounds of ice. Inside of the 14,000 square-foot Igloo called the Ice Kingdom there are a variety of amazing ice sculptures that tower above you as you make your way through the exhibit in a very cold atmosphere that is kept at less than 9 degrees!  See surfin’ Santa, nutcrackers, a candy cane forest, and even an ice replica of the Queen Mary ship with four lanes of ice slides for all to slide down and more!  Before entering you must put on the heavy parkas provided by the staff or you will literally freeze. 🙂 I also personally recommend bring gloves and a hat as they will be very worthwhile upon entering the Ice Kingdom.

Ice Tubing is a blast – CHILL on The Queen Mary in Long Beach

The Glacier Glide at CHILL is the ice tubing area in which guests can ride an unlimited number of times, ice tubing down six-lanes.  These lanes are made entirely out of ice that stands more than two stories tall and 100-feet long!

You can also explore the festive holiday village at CHILL that includes a gingerbread house, holiday carolers, Candy Lane and a visit with Santa Claus! There is also live entertainment, food and beverages served throughout the grounds nightly. 

“CHILL is a truly unique holiday experience that brings the cold festive weather of other areas right here to sunny Southern California,” commented Steve Sheldon, director of entertainment events at The Queen Mary. “Stepping into the Ice Kingdom immediately puts you in the holiday spirit.”
