Two holiday parks in Miami-Dade County are open for the season, and both run through Jan. 3. Christmas Wonderland opened at Tropical Park, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not Christmas Park is at Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah.
The headline attraction at Christmas Wonderland is the America 250 wheel, which the source describes as the tallest traveling Ferris wheel in the world. It rises 230 feet above Tropical Park. The park also has 45 rides, a new Nu Market for shopping, and some original Santa’s Enchanted Forest displays.
Regular online tickets cost $40 for ages 13 and up and $30 for children through age 12. Children three and under get in free. Mondays are Santa’s Enchanted Mondays, with discounts on tickets, food and drinks.
Ripley’s park offers more than 100 attractions, including two roller coasters, and unlimited rides come with admission. Visitors can also see Ripley’s oddities and exhibits, plus live shows featuring lasers and robot magic.
For families looking for holiday plans in Hialeah and Tropical Park, both parks offer rides, food and seasonal activities over the next several weeks.
