 Feel that chill? That's the return of Winter Fest, So Cal's largest winter festival! 

Now celebrating its 11th anniversary, Winter Fest boasts the region’s largest outdoor ice skating rink, an 8,000-square-foot real snow play area, and a 150-foot ice tubing slide.

General admission includes unlimited ice tube rides, real snow play, immersive walk-through experiences, entertainment, light displays, and photo ops.

Those activities not included in general admission can be purchased as add-ons or with purchase of premium admission passes. These include carnival rides and inflatables, ice skating, VIP cabanas and fireside igloos, and polar putt putt mini golf.

Check out our review from a previous season.

Winter Fest opens at 5pm and closes at 10pm Monday through Friday; Saturdays and Sundays the fest opens at 4pm. On New Year's Eve, Winter Fest stays open until 12:30am.

Winter Fest OC goes on rain or shine. Select entertainment or rides may be delayed, canceled or not available without prior notice due to inclement weather conditions. In the event of severe inclement weather, the event may close or have shortened hours.
