In Chicago? Don’t Miss Navy Pier’s Winter WonderFest

I will receive complimentary tickets in exchange for sharing this information.

   

Runs now thru January 10, 2016

This year marks the 15th year of the Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier in Chicago. It is prepped to be the biggest and best Winter WonderFest yet. This year every square inch of its 170,000 square foot space was used to create the ultimate holiday experience with over 25 attractions and endless entertainment for all to enjoy! There is even an indoor Ferris wheel and ice skating rink.

We went to the Winter WonderFest a few years ago and my son loved it, every year since we have missed out but this year we are determined to go.

Here is a video from last year’s Winter WonderFest:
