Since 1993, a journey through Winter Wonderland has become a Holiday tradition for many families, friends, and social organizations to celebrate the spirit of the holiday season. Traditional favorites include 12 Days of Christmas, Santa jumping down an 84 foot ski slope, reindeer flying over the race track, and the vivid color of the giant poinsettia arch.
