Every year about this time I long for the winter activities I grew up enjoying as a kid in the Midwest. So I am always looking for ways to bring a little bit of that holiday magic here to my life in sunny Southern California. One tradition that we've come to enjoy as a family is Winter Fest at the OC Fairgrounds! It  is back for the 2017 holiday season and the forecast calls for 18 days of winter fun in the OC. I'm excited that winter fun is only 10 minutes away! I'm talking tubing, ice skating, and enjoying REAL SNOW!

Winter Fest is a giant wonderland of family fun and tickets start at only $10. Season passes are also available for all 18 days of Winter Fest. Every admission ticket includes:

• Unlimited ice tubing down Snowflake Summit’s 150-foot, 8 lane mountain of ice
• Snow Play area with real snow blown in daily – expanded this year!
• Festival of Lights two-million-light stroll-through holiday displays – 7 new lands!
• Nightly tree lighting celebration with parade of Winter Fest characters, snow flurries, fireworks and flying Santa and his Reindeer until he returns to the North Pole
• Winter Fest themed bounce houses and slides for kids
• The world’s largest walk-through ornament and rocking horse
• Craft making and games in Santa’s workshop
• Daily entertainment including live bands, magic from Jimmy H, and strolling carolers 
• Character live shows and meet and greets from popular cartoons such as Thomas the Train, Sid the Science Kid, PJ Masks, and Buddy from Dinosaur Train
• Little Elves (Toddler) play area

• Arcade games
• Snowboard Simulator

Additional attractions with a fee include:

• Ice Skating on a full outdoor rink
• Candy Cane carnival with more than 30 rides, attractions and games
• Pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus in their cabin

I am so excited about the return of the Festival of Lights display! You will stroll down a pathway illuminated with 2 million lights and explore holiday themed lands. I always love a good Christmas lights display, so this is very exciting! My kids can't wait to bundle up and get their hands on the real snow in the new Snow Play area especially since it is expanded this year!

Family Fun at Winter Fest Orange County {2016} #WinterFestOC

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post brought to you by Gigasavvy. All opinions are my own.

If you're an Orange County transplant like me that longs for the winter activities you
enjoyed growing up, then look no further than Winter Fest at the OC Fairgrounds!
It  is back for the 2016 holiday season and it is bigger and better than ever. I am so
excited that I only have to drive 10 minutes up the 405 to make fun winter memories
with my kids like tubing, ice skating, and enjoying REAL SNOW!

If you went to Winter Fest last year you'll be happy your favorite activities

are returning. If you didn't attend Winter Fest last year, then you'll be excited to

discover all that Winter Fest has to offer.

{RETURNING FOR WINTER FEST 2016}

*Nightly Tree Lighting Ceremony

*Tubing at Snowflake Summit

*Candy Cane Carnival Games

*Meet and Greet with Santa

*Winter Bounce Houses

*Ice Skating (additional cost)

My kids' favorite activity was the tubing at Snowflake Summit. They loved the thrill of

riding down the 130 foot hill and trying to get their tubes to spin slightly as they slid

down faux snow hill. It was so fun to watch them and unlimited tubing is included with

your admission ticket to Winter Fest 2016. Check out the video above to see JT

whizzing down Snowflake Summit at lightning speed.

In addition to the Winter Fest returning attractions, there are so many more exciting
activities that are going to make this a holiday event not to be missed!

*Toddler Play Area (ages 3 and under)

I am so excited about the new Festival of Lights display! It's the largest lights display
in Orange County. You will stroll down a pathway illuminated with 2 million lights
and explore ten holiday themed lands. I always love a good Christmas lights display,
so this is very exciting! My kids can't wait to bundle up and get their hands on the
real snow in the new Snow Play area.
