Ways to give back this season
It’s the season of giving, and we’re proud to be donating to Kids House of Seminole County again this year to help children in need this holiday season.
Bring new, unwrapped toys to the Island from Nov. 23 to Dec. 13 and help us make the season bright for those in our community.
Wekiva Island will also be offering specials and discounts at our General Store, in addition to free gift wrapping on ALL gifts brought to the Island on the 17th & 19th—so guests can kick back with a beverage and allow our 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.
