Christmas Wonderland at Tropical Park
- see all dates
Christmas Wonderland transforms more than 14 acres of Tropical Park into the one of the largest holiday attractions in the United States. Guests can stroll through six immersive holiday worlds, including Santa’s Village, Arctic Delight, and Sweet Street; explore the half-mile Tinsel Trail of synchronized light displays, and enjoy unlimited carnival rides, including three roller coasters and the 150-foot Eye in the Sky Ferris wheel.
New this year are Firework Fridays, the thrilling Santa’s Sky Shot human cannonball show, and the acrobatic Sleigh and Sway Spectacular. Families can also visit Santa, snap magical photos, and enjoy delicious treats from Miami’s top food trucks and local vendors. With live shows nightly and special holiday hours on Thanksgiving, Noche Buena, Christmas Day, and New Year’s, Christmas Wonderland is where the magic of the season shines brightest in the tropics.
