The holidays are definitely here and I’m excited to celebrate with a special discount and GIVEAWAY!

From November 27th through January 3rd, a NEW holiday attraction is coming to Valleyfair, and you can enjoy it from the safety of your car!

It’s called Christmas in Color, and it’s a mile-long, drive-through light and music display. It will be in Valleyfair’s massive parking lot, and tickets are on sale now!

And what’s interesting is that Christmas in Color is being brought to Minnesota by the same company that creates Ice Castles! Though Ice Castles won’t be happening this year due to COVID, this will be an amazing alternative!

See a preview here:

Christmas in Color features:

• 1 million LED lights synchronized to cheerful, upbeat holiday music
• Glowing tunnels and fields of dancing lights and singing snowmen
• Listen to music on your radio in your car – tune to a local channel when you enter to watch the lights dance in sync to the music!

Ice Castles is coming back to Minnesota this winter (January 2020), and this time they’re in New Brighton, at Long Lake Park!

They open on Friday, January 17th, and tickets go on sale on Monday, January 13th!

And I have an exclusive DISCOUNT and ticket giveaway to share!

I’ve visited and reviewed Ice Castles with my family each year since 2015. Each year it has been a unique experience (though definitely dress warm!). In 2015 – 2016 Ice Castles were in Eden Prairie’s Miller Park, in 2017 and 2018 Ice Castles were in Stillwater, and in 2019 they were in Excelsior at the Commons, on the shore of Lake Minnetonka.
