The enchanting wonderland in Batesville is a splendid gem to find towards Northeast Arkansas. Each year the holiday spectacle adds even more magic to the experience and 2020 is no different.
White River Wonderland has over 1.5 million lights in and around Riverside Park which includes well over 200 displays. Families can simply drive by and tune into the local radio station for a light and sound show or walk through! This year, thanks to donations, the park also has speakers for walkers to enjoy the synchronized lights. However, the lights are only part of the wonderland experience.
This year's new addition is the 70-ft. tall Ferris wheel. Take a spin to see the lights from a whole new perspective. Another sight to see here is the towering snowman. He's the tallest one in the entire state!
Rides on the Ferris wheel are $5/person and must be booked in advance. You can do that right here.
