Explore enchanted the Winter Lights lands filled with glowing lights as you’re transported through the Polar Passage, revel in the sweet displays of Candy Cane Lane. Then, strap on your skates for a twirl around the ice rink or leave it to the professionals performing Nutcracker on Ice. Follow Skitter Mouse on a journey to find the Magic of Santa or hop on the Ice Bumper Cars. Oversee everything with a ride on the Ferris Wheel, or take a spin on the Berry Go Round.
