You can also buy a freshly cut Christmas tree to bring home with you, and experience live ice carving at this winter wonderland. It’s fun for the whole family, with a kids’ play place with crafts, games, face painting, a bouncy castle, and live performances. Of course, the one and only Saint Nick and the lovely Mrs. Claus will also make an appearance.
