For me, there is nothing more magical then seeing a child’s face light up during the holidays. I love this time of year because there is so much magic in the air. That is why I love to get my kids out and about for some holiday fun!
Our community puts together some great kid friendly events and so does the city of Houston, Texas. Check out this great list of kid friendly holiday events, brought to you by Northwest Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram.
Santa’s Wonderland
They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and from what I can find, there is no bigger display of Christmas lights then the one at Santa’s Wonderland. Take a hayride and check out the lights, enjoy some live music, do some shopping, step inside a large snow globe and so much more!
For tickets prices, hours and special event information, be sure to visit Santa’s Wonderland online.
