There's also some other interactive displays around the park, including an area in front of the ship where large lit up balls change color from red, to blue, to green, just by pushing a big button.
There's plenty of photo opportunities for those walking around the park. Specially lit up displays with seating entice not just kids, but mom and dad, and grandma and grandad too, for that special holiday photo.

The best present!
The tent itself houses a shop, and trees decorated by local businesses. This is where the big fella will be too, for those hoping a quiet word will bring everything they wish for. The area sparkles and twinkles and will amaze the young and not so young.

We can't forget the biggest change to Winterfest this year - the return of the tram! Missed by many during the years since Covid took it away from us, the tram is back for those with walking problems, or who just prefer to sit back and enjoy the view. The tram takes the outer path of the park, giving its riders a full view of this spectacular sparkling holiday light display.
