What we liked and a few tips: The wrap around Ice Skating track was really cool! You got a good view of the event and many of the shows that were happening within the inner areas. My family really likes the Tricycle Ice track as well. We did the Zip Line and it was awesome but just know the line can get long. If seeing the 4D Movie, be sure to sit in the first few rows closest to the stage to either the left or the right to experience more "frozen" fun! FYI Ice skating assists (penguins) are an additional $10 to rent. Unfortunately the Northern Lights Show one of the things we were most looking forward to seeing was not open during our visit but I can only image how amazing it will be under the dome! Be sure to bring a jacket if attending in the evening, most of all have a great time!
