With both indoor and outdoor activities, Winterfest features a variety of entertainment options and fun for the whole family. The highlight of the fest is a 130 foot slide which guests can slide down or ice tube. There are six lanes and lots of icy speed as you slide. Go again and again and again! Adults and kids will enjoy this one!
Winterfest also features an indoor ice skating rink. There is plenty of room on the ice and even the littlest of guests can get in on the action with the help of some sturdy penguin trainers.
For those looking for some special holiday cheer, there is a giant walk through ornament and plenty of photo ops with holiday ornaments, sleds, snowmen and the like. The big guy himself, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus are also available for photos.
In the North Pole building where Mr. and Mrs. Claus are, there is also some face painting fun, train displays and even some hands on activities such as crafts and foosball tables.
Animal lovers will enjoy seeing reindeer, and there are even several opportunities throughout the day to feed the reindeer!
Those looking for action can check out the carnival section of Winterfest. There are games with prizes and over 30 rides, including a ferris wheel and a big slide.
If you get hungry while at Winterfest, there are several stands where traditional carnival foods can be found: everything from pizza and hot dogs to deep fried snickers and funnel cake.
