Winter Festival for the Special Needs Community

About the Event

Experience the charm and magic of winter like never before! We’re inviting our Special Needs Community to join us for an extra-special edition of Winter Festival on Saturday, January 10, 2026 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Whether you’re building a snowman, sledding down our snow hill, making silly faces in our free photo booth, or taking a spin around the synthetic skate rink, there is bound to be something for everyone!

Our newest enchanting enhancements to Winter Festival return this year! Discover new friends in our winter wonderland character encounter, traipse through a dazzling magical light walk, and bounce to your heart’s content in a bounce house playland!

Come hungry! Food vendors will be on-site, as well as face painting and pony rides. There are no ATMs at the event, so please plan accordingly.

This event is offered to our Special Needs families. Guests must check-in upon arrival to receive their event wristband. Wristbands are required for early event access to: snow hill, skating rink, arts and crafts, photo booth, face painting, winter wonderland character encounter, and bounce houses.
