Wekiva Island’s long-awaited Winter Wonderland is back again, and we’re excited to celebrate the festive season all December long. In addition to our well-loved activities like daily “snow” flurries, the Christmas tree forest and our 30-ft tall tree, and visits from your favorite Christmas characters, Santa is inviting all the good boys and girls for the first time ever to his Workshop, right here at Wekiva Island!
In the spirit of giving back, we will be filling canoes with toys donated to Toys for Tots. Wekiva Island will also be offering specials and discounts at its General Store, in addition to free gift wrapping on ALL gifts brought to the Island—so guests can kick back with a beverage and allow our Island elves to do all the hard work.
Winter Wonderland is open to the public. There is a $5 admission fee, and select events require an additional ticket.
