Best spot to watch the parade!

Enjoy the NEW walk-through attraction, Sparkle Wonderland, featuring snow machines and larger-than-life inflatables: Santa, Grinch, Rudolph, and more! This is the most magical spot to view the parade, surrounded by falling snow & favorite holiday characters.

Plus, you've got prime access to hot cocoa: Visit the Churro Up Churros Cart to purchase hot cocoa or churros.

This is a fantastic location to explore while waiting for the parade to start. Sip on some cocoa and snap a few photos for your holiday cards!
