The Racetrack In Texas That Turns Into A Winter Wonderland At Christmastime
We don’t typically associate racetracks with the holidays, but that’s about to change. This is the first year of Circuit of the Americas’ Winter Wonderland, a Christmas extravaganza that’s so much more than just a light display (although they have one and it’s absolutely amazing). Check it out – it just might be your new family tradition!
The first ever Winter Wonderland at COTA made its debut on December 1. Attractions include millions of lights, a skating rink, human snow globe, a petting zoo, camel rides, a carnival, a hot air balloon float, movies on the lawn, food, shopping, and more.
This is the main event: the Tunnel of Lights. You'll be absolutely mesmerized as you walk through it and watch the lights flash and flicker around you in all sorts of neat patterns.
Singing trees aren't something you see every day, but they're here at Circuit of the Americas. When its dark outside, you'll actually think their mouths are moving! Little ones will be completely captivated.
