Holly Jolly Festival of Lights
Visitors stroll through a mile-long walking trail featuring millions of twinkling Christmas lights, themed scenes, shimmering tunnels, and holiday music. Families can meet Santa Claus, see animal ambassadors in Habitat Hall, visit the Letters to Santa station, and enjoy play attractions like the Mega Slide, corn box, swings, and tricycle track. Guests can also warm up around cozy campfires, meet special holiday characters on select evenings, and purchase scratch-made treats and warm meals.
