Visitors to the ice sculpture exhibition can explore seven different themed zones, embarking on a magical ice adventure in sub-zero temperatures of minus 8 degrees Celsius. The themed areas showcase large ice sculptures of famous Macau landmarks and DreamWorks animated characters such as Shrek, Princess Fiona, Alex and his friends from “Madagascar,” and Po from “Kung Fu Panda.” The family-friendly ice slide is sure to bring added thrills and excitement.
In addition, two new characters joining “The Cotai Strip – Experience Dream Factory” — Tigress from “Kung Fu Panda” and Belt from “The Croods” — will make their first appearances in “Experience Dream Factory: World of Ice.” Beyond being featured as ice sculptures, visitors can also interact with them at Sands Cotai Central. Tigress will appear starting today at the “Experience Dream Factory” Animation Stars Breakfast, spreading joy and taking photos with guests alongside her DreamWorks friends.
