Winter Wonderfest Returns to Discovery Cube OC #DCOCwinter


If you missed Winter Wonderfest at Discovery Cube Orange County last year, then
you are lucky because it's returning again this year!!! And if you did go last year for
the event's debut, then you'll want to be sure to grab your pre-sale tickets before they
disappear December 16th. All the fun of Winter Wonderfest is back - including 100 tons
of REAL SNOW!!! Real snow in sunny southern California? Yes!
 December 17th - January 8th Winter Wonderfest is back and it is bigger and
better than ever! Check out all the fun you'll have!

{1} TUBE DOWN A 75-FOOT RAMP!
JT is my daredevil and he loved racing down the ramp on an inner tube. I think he did
it at least five times. He told me this year he is going to try to do it ten times!! You
can go tubing as many times as your heart desires - you just have to wait in line each
time.

CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO OF JT TUBING AT WINTER WONDERFEST!


{2} GO SLEDDING ON REAL HILL OF SNOW!

There are two snow sledding hills - one for the big kids and one for even your little
kids. My kids loved the snow sledding!  See below for a video of Grace enjoying
herself. She went sledding three or four times and was still asking for more!



{3} PLAY WITH REAL SNOW

The SNOW PLAY AREA was the favorite with all of my kids. My kids love 
playing in the snow at grandma and grandpa's house in Utah, but they don't love the 
13 hour drive. So being able to build a snowman and enjoy the fluffy stuff after a 10 
minute drive to the Discovery Cube OC was amazing!



Plus, it gave us an excuse to bust out our cute snow gear and look adorable for the
camera.We just took a quick trip to Idaho to visit my Grandma and Grace was in
heaven in the snow! So, I know she'll be thrilled to skip the plane ride (which she
didn't love) and have the chance to play in the snow again!


There are lots of tools for working in the snow, including some adorable pieces to
make sure your snowman is put together properly.
I think JT made four or five snowmen, because he liked deconstructing them just
as much as he building them. I really appreciate all the hands-on activities that the
Discovery Cube OC puts into all of their events and exhibits.

{4} THE SCIENCE OF GINGERBREAD DISPLAYS

While you're there for Winter Wonderfest, don't forget to take advantage of your
Cube admission to see the amazing 11th Annual Science of Gingerbread displays.
I loved the Peanuts entry last year! There was even a Death Star! The Science of 
Gingerbread will be at The Discovery Cube OC now through January 1st.


You can build your candy car and race it in the 2016 Gingerbread Derby.
You're provided with all the pieces to make a delicious car to race against your friends.
JT is a Cub Scout and participates in the Pinewood Derby each year, so he really loves
this part of The Science of Gingerbread exhibit.


Did you go to Winter Wonderfest at The Cube last year?
What was your favorite part?
If you didn't - hurry! Get your tickets before presale
tickets end on December 16th.
