The 13th Bird's Nest Happy Ice and Snow Season will return to its main venue and outdoor warm-up area, with a total area of over 60,000 square meters for activities. The main venue will feature a wide range of snow-related experiences, including over 20 classic ice and snow games and exhibition attractions, such as the Super Ice Slide, Snow Circle Plaza, Snow Karting, Snow Adventure Park, Snow Bumper Cars, and Ice and Snow Town of Cars.

It's worth noting that this year's ice and snow season will take visitors on a unique voyage through both the past and the future. It has been designed as an aerospace-themed ice and snow carnival, allowing visitors to glide down the Super Ice Slide, snap photos with the towering Ice Rocket, and embark on a series of "interstellar journeys" within the solar system-themed zorb balls.

Some aerospace exhibits have been put in place.

The ski jump platform is located in the outdoor warm-up field this year, occupying an area of 2,200 square meters. In addition to ski jumping, the outdoor warm-up area offers a variety of entertaining and enjoyable snow-based fitness and recreational activities, including snow frisbee, snowfield soccer, an extremely challenging snow off-road racing game, and the thrilling "Angry Snowballs" game.

The season is set to begin trial operation on December 23 and will officially open on December 30, running until mid-February 2024. Visitors can purchase tickets and make reservations on the "NESTICKET" WeChat mini program, as well as various major online ticketing platforms and their respective mini-programs. Weekday tickets are each priced at CNY 120, while weekend and holiday tickets are each priced at CNY 160. Teenagers aged 15 or younger, with valid ID documents, can enter for free (except for the Spring Festival holiday), and children aged 12 or younger must be accompanied by adults.
