Families will find plenty of reasons to smile, with the Penguin Playground—a light-up wonderland of seesaws, swings, and climbing structures—and a visit to Santa’s Shed for the perfect holiday photo. For a quieter moment, visitors can cozy up by one of the many fire pits at the Reindeer Run, or warm up with a seasonal drink at Blitzen’s Lounge, where artisan goods and festive treats await.
A few new surprises await this year, including the chance to step onto the field level and explore the GLOW Maze, where lighted tunnels create a fun, photo-worthy adventure. And for those in search of the perfect holiday snapshot, the revamped sElfie Plaza is a whimsical space designed for family photos and selfies in front of a backdrop of glowing holiday cheer.
Since its debut in 2020, the GLOW Holiday Festival has also worked to make a real impact in the community, with a portion of every ticket sold benefiting local charities. The event has raised more than $350,000 for various regional causes, making it not only a fun outing but one with a meaningful connection to the local community.
