Holiday in the Park

Land, Sea and Sky transform to Land, Sea and SNOW in this third annual holiday offering as Six Flags Discovery Kingdom presents Holiday in the Parks weekends starting Friday, November 27 through December 13, and daily from December 19 to January 3, 2010 (closed December 24 and 25).

Themed holiday wonderlands feature life-sized toys, non-stop entertainment and festively decorated areas to get everyone into the holiday spirit. Experience the display of a majestic faux Christmas tree and we've doubled the size of Blitzen's Wonderland Mountain for more fun sledding down the snowy hill. Among the myriad of Holiday in the Park offerings are:

  • Main Street Festival of Lights - your holiday adventure begins and ends here under the canopy of one of the biggest Christmas trees around, an 80-foot-tall white fir. You won't want to miss the nightly tree lighting ceremony and holiday parade.

  • Blitzen's Wonderland Mountain - back by popular demand is the giant snow hill - now more than double the hill we had last year!  The kids will also love to play in Prancer's Snow Play Area and have fun in the snow!

  • Santa's Workshop - visit Santa's industrious toy-making shop and get your picture taken with Shouka and Merlin.

  • Candy Cane Lane - stroll through this canopy of larger-than-life candy canes and lollipops

  • Toy Land - meet an enormous Nutcracker soldier, teddy bear and other gigantic toys

  • Winter Wonderland - meet Frosty the Snowman and enjoy this enchanting themed area

  • Reindeer Village - meet all eight of Santa's reindeers, from Cupid, to Donner, to Vixen to Blitzen!  

  • Christmas Tree Forest - walk past a dazzling display of lighted trees and take in the fresh aroma

Non-Stop Holiday Entertainment!

Share a DREAM with Shouka the killer whale in this delightful holiday presentation among Holiday in the Park's line-up of live wildlife and family-oriented entertainment.

  • Dream - Shouka the killer whale stars in this engaging holiday showstopper

  • A Dolphin Holiday - our Atlantic bottlenose dolphins will get you into the holiday spirit - like them, you'll be jumping for joy!

  • Super Spirited Sea Lions Save Christmas - It's a race to save Christmas from meanies up to no good.  Thanks to our flippered friends, we can all breathe a sigh of relief that Christmas is here to stay.
