You'll also experience several themed areas. The Meet Me in St. Louis Zone is a showstopper, complete with a 15-foot arch, fleur-dis-lis and 17-foot steamboat silhouette. Other displays include Gingerbread Lane, Toy Town, Peppermint Pathway, Glowing Garden, Woodland Workshop, Frosted Forest, Artic Alley, Northern Lights, Butterfly Grove, and Twinkling Tunnel.
