Winter Fest is an affordable holiday experience that ensures a fantastic adventure rain or shine, for eighteen days and nights, during the traditional holiday school break. The best part is that the majority of the main attractions and entertainment are indoors.
Tickets are on sale now! All tickets are a fantastic value, allowing unlimited access to tube down the 130-foot, six-lane Snowflake Summit ice slide (available for guests 42” and taller). Since tickets are more expensive in person, I recommend that you buy them online ahead of time. Goldstar and Groupon tickets are the best deal and come with a bonus ice tubing fast pass!
