The Fairy Winterland makeover will include holiday displays, festive music from around the world, wintertime stories, seasonal crafts such as candle making, free cocoa and apple cider, and visits from the Snow Queen and Santa Claus (Black Santa since 1993!). A visit to Fairyland is best for toddlers through about age eight and their adults who love to see them smile.

If the train is a must-ride for your kids, go there first. We didn’t even bother with the line – there were at least 40 people in line by the time we reached that part of the park. The carousel on the other hand is a crowd-pleaser and fits a lot of kids. We rode it at least three times.

Pro tips:

  • Wear matching sweaters to add to the holiday spirit and find each other quickly!
  • Pack a lunch and have it at the picnic tables.
  • Save room for cocoa.
