Queen Mary’s Chill, Ice Skating Downtown, Kitty Snuggling: LA’s Hot Holiday To Do

There are so many things to do in and around Los Angeles during the holiday season. But what are the top activities!?

Queen Mary Chill 2015The Queen Mary's CHILL

CHILL transforms over two million pounds of sparkling ice into larger than life hand carved colorful ice sculptures in a giant Igloo called The Ice Kingdom.

Charles Dickens’ classic tale of A Christmas Carol comes to life. Walk-through chilling scenes from the Nutcracker complete with castles and sugar plum fairies. The Ice Kingdom is kept at a frosty nine degrees Fahrenheit to preserve the ice. Guests receive parkas to help protect them from the chilling temperatures.

Along with the Winter Village, there's Glacier Glide Ice Tubing with six lanes of glistening ice slides standing two stories tall and 100-feet long in front of the Ice Kingdom. Ice skate under the stars on the 6,000 square-foot ice skating rink with the backdrop of the picturesque Queen Mary ship. CHILL pricing starts at $34.99 for adults and $24.99 for kids (ages 4-11).
