From now until Christmas night, your family can ice skate, go snow tubing, and play with snow on the Space Coast.
But nothing's actually frozen.
Wha'?
Well, there is a Disney's "Frozen" thing happening at Light Up Viera, so we'll get to that in a moment. But organizers have managed to get snow-themed attractions using synthetic stuff!
For instance, inside the new Holiday Village (located on the grounds of the Calvary Chapel) is a 40' x 100' 'ice' skating rink. The rink is made of a surface that's put together like a puzzle. A special slick gloss is applied to it at night so that by the next day, it's ready for skaters.
Just beyond that is a Mini Village suitable for kiddoes 5 and under. It has two size-appropriate bounce houses that won't swallow up your child. Your kids can also ride Santa's train!
Nearby is a 40-foot tall Snowman that is actually a giant bounce house. And behind that is a snow globe that's big enough for people to step inside and throw faux snow all over each other. If you need an idea for a family holiday photo, this is it.
Perhaps the main attraction is Snowzilla, an inflatable 31-foot tall and 90-foot long mobile snow-tubing lane. Organizers tell us it's one of only two in the country. After climbing inflatable stairs to the very top (which is a fantastic workout in itself), throw yourself down what turns out to be a very comfy ride!
The Holiday Village is open nightly until Dec. 25. As you can see from its online schedule, the event features a bunch of themed nights, special events, Santa visits - you name it.
For instance, Dec. 19 is “Frozen” Night from 5 - 7 p.m. Your family can join Anna, Elsa and Olaf for a special evening of photos, face-painting and singing. Pack a blanket and watch the movie under the stars. The movie starts at 7:00 p.m.
