Great. Communist ice sculptures.

If I remember right from last year, it's not cheap. Of course, nothing at the Gaylord ever is.

Has anyone had any problems with the camera due to the cold? I think they keep the room at like 9 degrees or something crazy like that.

I went last year and it was pretty cool. Actually, it was COLD! Seven degrees if I remember correctly. I didn't take my camera since I had just bought it and just gotten into photography. I was afraid of the cold, I guess. I would definetly recommend going. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. You don't even need to bring a coat, they have big ski jackets, but no gloves.

$20 a person!!!! Rip off IMO. The DMA doesn't even charge that much for exhibits.
