unforgettable yuletide experience for hundreds of thousands of

famous rides open for business during the Christmas fun run, but
there are the added attractions of thousands of fragrant Christmas
trees, miles of fir garlands, candles and electric lights, a
skating rink, elves everywhere, Santa Claus of course, and
four Christmas market ‘villages’ where shoppers can
find an array of presents in Nordic Village, Alp Village, Forest
Troll Town or Old England. Several musical and theatrical
productions are offered in the Park’s indoor entertainment
venues and restaurants serve up traditional Christmas fare.
