Winter Wonderfest
Winter Wonderfest transforms Navy Pier into a festive paradise with rides, games, and winter attractions. The pinnacle of the event is the Chicago Blackhawks indoor ice-skating rink, which grants visitors with 170,000 square feet of smooth ice to carve up to their hearts’ content. The ice rink isn’t the only lofty attraction, however—a 42-foot holiday tree dressed in sparkling lights and colorful ornaments complements the radiant lighting of a 50-foot-high indoor Ferris wheel. Adrenaline-pumping rides abound, from inflatable fun such as the Arctic Plunge inflatable slide and the Snowman Bouncer to Zero Gravity, which tilts adventurous riders at a 45-degree angle. For younger visitors, a classic carousel lined with painted animals gently spins as aromas waft from the Pepsi Create-A-Cookie Cottage, which invites little ones to decorate their own sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles.
