My fiance and I want to take our daughters to something called "ICE" this weekend..
Here is the website.. http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylord-pal鈥?/a>

I am wondering if it would be okay to bring my camera (Nikon d3000), or if the temperatures would do damage to it?

This is what their website says about it.. Guests are welcome to bring cameras and take photos inside the ICE! attraction. You can expect to experience a "fogging" of the lens when exiting from ICE! into warmer temperatures. This, however, usually goes away once the camera warms up. Please check the manufacturer information regarding the cold tolerance of your camera equipment. Gaylord Palms Resort is not responsible for damage to any camera equipment caused by the extreme cold temperature.|||"Gaylord Palms Resort is not responsible for damage to any camera equipment caused by the extreme cold temperature."

This tells you a lot. The main problem you will have is due to condensation that forms on your camera as it warms up. You should take a heavy-duty ZipLoc bag with you so that you can put your camea inside the bag while it is still cold. It would be a good idea to toss in some of those dessicant packets, if you have any. This will keep moisture from getting to your camera - including keeping it from the delicate electronic stuff inside - so that it won't get wet as it warms up.

Hope u have a second battery with you if you plan to shoot a lot. Photo Memories are important so I'll say it again bring it.|||The only real worry you've got is less battery life, as they die faster in the cold.

But bring it.|||bring it:)|||you will take ur camera,but keep safe. Enjoy
