The Loop Ice Carnival returns for another year of ice-and-snow-based fun as well as a few new surprises. All the best parts — the frozen turkey bowling (now with vegetarian turkeys), the ice slides and the ice breaker, in which you get two swings at a block of ice with a sledge hammer — are back again, while the new attractions include a 32-foot-high zipline on Leland Avenue that runs for 350 feet. Most of the local restaurants and businesses will have specials throughout the carnival, which takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (January 13 and 14) along the Delmar Loop (5900 to 6600 blocks of Delmar Boulevard, University City; www.visittheloop.com). Admission is free, but some events require a small fee.
