Here in So Cal, we don’t really get a whole lot of winter. It gets cold-ish and occasionally we’ll even have to put on boots or tennis shoes instead of just wearing flip flops. If we want snow, we have to drive to the mountains where a lot of the time they make the snow. My kids have not really experienced a White Christmas, so this year I’m excited to take them to Winter Fest OC at the the OC Fair & Event Center!
All About Winter Fest OC
Get into the holiday spirit at Winter Fest OC from December 20th – January 6th. There’s over 40,000 square feet of winter wonderland, with new attractions, popular activities like an outdoor ice-skating rink, ice tubing at Snowflake Summit, real Snow Play, and so much more.
Between December 20th and 24th, you won’t want to miss the nightly Christmas Tree Lighting celebration that features fireworks and snow flurries. And during the tree lighting, the kids will be so excited to see the magic of the North Pole as Santa and his reindeer fly over the fairgrounds! I’m not going to tell my kids about that – they’ll be so surprised!
After the Santa excitement, the whole family can take a tube race down Snowflake Summit a 150 foot, eight lane slide.
My kids will definitely be excited to visit Penny’s Snow Play, where fresh snow blown in daily to make SoCal’s largest snow play attraction with two snow arenas: one caters to toddlers and the other to kids (and kids at heart.) As in year’s past families can also check out the world’s largest rocking horse, wintery-themed bounce houses for kids, a giant walk-through ornament, strolling carolers, petting zoo, character meet and greets, crafts, arcade games, more than 30 carnival rides and games, and seasonal food and beverages.
