Travel through the Stargate! YES, you heard that right! We’ve got a Stargate portal that whisks you away to our one-of-a-kind Xmas village where the magic happens. Picture this: animated displays everywhere, Merry-go-rounds that are more custom than a hipster’s coffee order, a Ferris Wheel that might just be crazier than your holiday spirit, and a Rollercoaster that will have you screaming for joy (or maybe just screaming!). And let’s not forget the Garden Trains that are so cute they could star in their own reality show! We’ve also got Carnival Performers, because what’s Christmas without a little Acrobatics. Check out the Steampunk-inspired Santa’s Control Room, featuring the Nautinus Airship – it’s like Santa went steampunk and got really funky! There’s a magical display area dedicated to Disney characters, a Santa collection so impressive even Krampus would be jealous, and a giant Gingerbread Village that could rival your grandmother’s baking skills. Enjoy a light show synced to rock music that even the elves would headbang to, and marvel at our steampunk vehicle displays and our one-of-a-kind LARGE Christmas Locomotive that might just be a train of Christmas joy! Oh, and did we mention Doctor Frankenstein’s Lab? Because who said the holidays can’t get a little weird?
