During the day, the park transforms into a winter wonderland for families, offering snow-themed fun brought by the Robotic Spin and the Speedy Ice Slide with unlimited access. Animals including alpacas, deer, and Call ducks await at the petting zoo. As evening comes, the fish lanterns take center stage, adding a romantic glow to the park. Snow activities by day and lantern viewing by night make the park worth a full-day trip!
