Flurry Lane presented by Busch Gardens Williamsburg – A classical shimmering white wonderland. Guests will wander beneath a canopy of glowing icicle lights and frosted snowflakes while falling snow creates a perfect winter moment.
Glimmer Games & Toy Soldier Tower – Visitors can play in the lights within vast caves of fun. Nearby, Toy Soldier Tower provides a whole new bird’s-eye view of the show, sure to be a social media favorite.
Enchanted Forest presented by Southern Kia – A winding woodland path set beneath magical dancing laser stars and vibrant forest scenes. In an opening near the end, bubbles drift through the laser beams for a one-of-a-kind “light in the dark” bubble party.
