1. Fairy Winterland
About
Evenings in late December are lit with the return of Fairy Winterland at Children’s Fairyland. This magical multicultural event brings families together to share in the season’s festivities. It’s the same Winterland you know and love, with additional measures to help keep everyone safe.
Yes, we’re still decking the Fairyland halls with thousands of twinkly lights and culturally-diverse holiday displays.
Yes, Black Santa will be there. Each evening at 6:30 p.m., he’ll lead the physically-distanced Festival of Lights Parade — and at the end, a treat will be given to all kids! Children will also get to see him in the park (though sitting on his lap is a no-go this year). While you’re here, drop your child’s “Letter to Santa” in the special mechanical mailbox at the Chapel of Peace. We’ll make sure he gets it.
And, yes, you’ll be able to cozy up with a complimentary cup of hot cocoa.
We expect to sell out. Don’t miss out – reserve your tickets now!
