Stories from Our Signature Events
From state fairs to destination resorts and zoos, CAAWorks partners with venues to create headline attractions that guests remember long after their visit. Here are a few of our favorite success stories.
A Landmark Cultural Debut
We introduced one of the earliest large-scale Chinese Lantern Festivals in the United States when we partnered with the State Fair of Texas in 2012. The festival received high praise from the Mayor of Dallas, the Chinese Ambassador, and many distinguished leaders for promoting cultural exchange and international friendship. This milestone launched our journey as a leader in immersive cultural attractions.
A Winter Experience Like No Other
Since 2014, our world-class ice-carving teams have created the annual ICELAND attraction for Moody Gardens — each year with a fresh theme, from SpongeBob to beloved seasonal stories. Two million pounds of ice are transformed into stunning frozen worlds, making ICELAND a flagship holiday tradition in Texas.

Our animatronic dinosaur exhibitions have become a favorite for families and educational institutions. We have delivered multi-year exhibit partnerships with major zoos such as San Antonio Zoo and Akron Zoo, and we continue to expand nationwide.
