The Drive-thru will feature more than a million lights twinkling along with popular Christmas songs, allowing guests to get a unique look at the 199-foot-tall Discovery Center, the settlement of log cabins and more, all decorated for the holidays.

The “Let It Glow” Walk-thru will take place on the north side of the park, which will once again be transformed into the “North Pole.” The size of the Walk-thru has doubled this year, so leave plenty of time to explore. Guests will take a stroll through the Settlement, European Garden and Mill Ridge, which will all be transformed into a glowing winter wonderland with plenty of opportunities for taking photographs. Once guests arrive at Mill Ridge, they will find a shop with local handmade gifts for sale and an area in the Smithy for children to write letters to Santa. As you travel along through the Settlement, you will be able to view the outdoor portion of our “Duck, Duck, Goose: Waterfowl of the Mississippi Flyway” exhibit and you can stop at Eats and Treats where select food and beverages are available for purchase. Ask about our new tumblers that will grant you a free cup of hot chocolate on every visit when you bring it back with you.
