What's New with Winter Wander
Wanderers making their way through the main entrance at this year’s event will be greeted by a 12-foot tall boar-faced nutcracker and an all-new illuminated archway. And the fun doesn’t stop there! Several light features will receive upgrades:
- Dogwood Alley will features new larger lanterns for more photo opportunities
- Additional lights and motion adorn the pathway through Serenity Way
- Last year’s new feature, Fountain of Dreams, now has ground lights with new motion
- The Instagram-worthy Tunnel of Lights now has a second companion tunnel
Artificial Ice Skating
Lace up some skates and glide along a synthetic-surfaced ice rink to celebrate winter, even when the temperatures don’t drop to icy-cold conditions. Rain or shine, hot or cold, our rink is always ready for you to glide, spin, and twirl to your heart's content. Made from unique plastic polymer, this synthetic rink encapsulates the feeling of skating on a frozen body of water. Activated through the touch of your ice skate's blade, a lubricating spray generates just as a thin layer of water would on frozen ice. Access to this massive 40x50 arena is included for season ticket holders and comes at an extra fee for regular Winter Wander admission. Skate rentals can be purchased at the rink, or you can bring your own skates. Click here to view rink fees and skate rental information.
