Visitors to the ice sculpture exhibition can explore seven different themed areas and embark on a magical ice adventure in temperatures as low as minus 8 degrees Celsius. The themed zones showcase a variety of large ice sculptures of famous Macau landmarks and DreamWorks characters, such as Shrek, Princess Fiona, Alex and his friends from Madagascar, and Po from Kung Fu Panda. There is also an ice slide suitable for all ages that promises extra thrills.
