Description

Live Entertainment:

Ralph's World (Performing at 7:00pm)
Ralph’s World is the mega-fun musical planet where kids rock rock rock and dance dance dance to their own and their parents’ delight. It’s the creation of Ralph Covert: indie rocker, songwriter, playwright, and children’s book author. He’s taken the same high-energy and super-melodic sense that he developed for his touring pop-rock band to kid’s music--basically only the lyrics are changed for the ears of the innocent.  His McCartneyesque style (both musically and his sense of charm) has won him hundreds of thousands of three-feet-and-under fans and their parents.

Attractions and Rides: 

Chicago Blackhawks Indoor Ice Skating Rink
Trade the winter chills for thrills at this popular indoor ice skating rink. Ice skate rental is included in the price of your pass. Guests are also welcome to bring their own ice skates.

Bah Humbug Court
The Winter WonderForce holiday cops are continually on the watch to issue tickets to unsuspecting guests for exhibiting non-cheerful behavior. You can protest your tickets in front of the Honorable Mayor Evergreen in this all-ages courtroom. Or, take your ticket and serve a temporary sentence, retained behind candy cane bars at Jolly Jail — a perfect photo opportunity for all those suspected of the holiday blues.

Extreme Ice Trail Ropes Course
Extreme Ice Trail is a ropes obstacle course stretching 27.5-feet in the air and challenges the adventurous to maneuver their way across beams, staircases and platforms. No sandals, open toe shoes, shoes with heels or dress shoes allowed. Please note: skirts or dresses will not be allowed on this attraction.

Ferris Wheel
