The holidays are sweet at Discovery Cube Orange County’s all-new holiday experience. Gingerbread Wonderland is an immersive adventure filled with festive fun and hands-on science.

Other fun includes racing down a towering indoor toboggan slide, and testing skills in the Sugar Rush Arcade with reindeer races, marshmallow tosses, and other frosty challenges.
