It’s not Christmas yet, but preparations are already underway at Miami’s Christmas Wonderland. The holiday theme park, which opens on November 14th at Tropical Park, is a magical place filled with festive decorations and holiday cheer. Our very own holiday elf, Alex Miranda, got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the park.
The Christmas Wonderland Command Center is a secret location where magical elves have been working hard all year to create a winter wonderland for visitors to enjoy. The park spans 35,000 square feet and is adorned with 5 million lights, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere.
One of the highlights of the park is the half-mile tinsel trail, where guests can admire beautiful scenes inspired by Candyland and other whimsical themes. Andrew Rodriguez-Triana, the creative genius behind the park’s designs, has put a lot of effort into making every detail perfect.
As Alex explored the park, he couldn’t help but feel the Christmas spirit, even though it was only October. The park’s whimsical decorations and festive atmosphere are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.
When asked about his dreams for the park, Andrew mentioned his hope to have Mariah Carey make a special appearance in the future. While this may be a lofty goal, with Andrew’s creativity and determination, anything is possible.
Christmas Wonderland opens its doors to the public on November 14th, and Tony Albelo, the mastermind behind the park, recommends visiting on weekdays to avoid the crowds. Whether you’re a fan of holiday cheer or just looking for a fun day out, Christmas Wonderland is sure to delight visitors of all ages.
So, if you’re looking for a magical and festive experience this holiday season, be sure to visit Miami’s Christmas Wonderland for a dose of Christmas cheer and holiday fun. And who knows, you might even spot Santa and his elves hard at work preparing for the most wonderful time of the year.
