Feel that chill? That's the return of Winter Fest, So Cal's largest winter festival!
Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, Winter Fest boasts the region’s largest outdoor ice skating rink, an 8,000-square-foot real snow play area, and a 150-foot ice tubing slide.
New for 2024: an all-new holiday light show featuring more than 2 million lights with synchronized music, as well as an expanded carnival, including an all-new dedicated kids carnival.
General admission includes unlimited ice tube rides, real snow play, immersive walk-through experiences, entertainment, light displays, and photo ops.
Those activities not included in general admission can be purchased as add-ons or with purchase of premium admission passes. These include the Polar Playground carnival rides and inflatables, the Arctic Ice Trail, VIP cabanas and fireside igloos, and polar putt putt mini golf.
