If you travel after 20 December, yes, and the ticket is in your price. Before that date it has not opened for the season and the itinerary uses the Dream Ice and Snow Pavilion instead, also ticketed. The exact opening is announced by the scenic area each year, so a late November or early December departure is a Snow Town trip with ice sculpture rather than the full ice city.
