Fire Inspectors Tour Gaylord ICE Exhibit
The Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center's ICE! exhibit opened to the public on Nov. 18. Fire inspectors from the Prince George's County office of the Fire Marshal and firefighters from Oxon Hill Station 842 toured the exhibit to check for safety issues.
The facility was inspected with minor corrections recommended to ensure compliance with the Life Safety Code. This year's ICE! features Dream Works' Merry Madagascar theme which will run until Jan 8. It took 2 million pounds of carved ice to create the colorful display.
The Gaylord website describes the attraction as, "This 15,000-square-foot attraction--a unique, interactive indoor wonderland created entirely of ice -- is the crowning jewel of Christmas on the Potomac."
