10 Reasons Six Flag’s Holiday in The Park is The Best Midwestern Christmas Event
I have to admit that when I hear that Six Flags was having a winter event my first thought was that sounds cold. However, after visiting the park and seeing the event for myself, I can safely say being surrounded by snow and the winter air made it that much better.
Here are 10 reasons why this event should be on your winter bucket list -
- There are 2 million lights on display throughout the park, and they are stunning.
- The holiday themed drinks and food specials are endless - from hot coco and candy cane funnel cakes to holiday tamales they've got something for everyone.
- You can ride your favorite coaster in the snow - not every coaster is open but many are such as Batman, Raging Bull, X Flight, and more.
- They've got rides that are Christmas themed like the famous tea cups.
- SMORES STATIONS - you can purchase a smores kit and make them yourself over a real fire.
- A nightly tree lighting ceremony that will make you feel like you're in a movie.
- SO many beautiful photo opportunities from designated backdrops to millions of lights.
- Indoor & outdoor activities are offered, so you can warm up if you want.
- If you've ever wondered what it's like to be inside of a snow globe... this is it.
- There are TONS of activities for kids including writing letters to Santa and character story times.
Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself!
