Plus, your kids will be beaming when they get their photo taken with Santa Claus (and the other exciting holiday characters on-hand), decorate holiday cookies with Mrs. Claus in her kitchen, pet a live reindeer, and enjoy delicious holiday treats (like eggnog funnel cakes and hot chocolate). Just remind the little ones that they better be good, if they want Santa to put them on the “Nice List” this year!

If the idea of a winter wonderland conjures up visions of ice skating, then strap on your skates and get gliding on Snowflake Lake. This gorgeous ice skating rink was created exclusively for Winterfest, and is only accessible during this special event. For the young ones (who are just learning how to skate), they can even get a boost by using the skate enablers to keep them safe. And, keep your eyes open – because you just might spot an Olympic skater out in the rink!
