CLOSED for Spirit of Winter Preparations
It’s time to deck the halls and hang up the stockings with festive cheer! With the Spirit of Winter being a major event every year—and now featuring our enchanting Nutcracker Suite—we need a bit of extra time to carefully prepare for the big opening day. To ensure everything is perfectly in place and ready for you to enjoy, we will be closed to the public from November 11th-14th. This will give us the opportunity to set the scene and create a magical, holiday experience for all!
