What our Family Thought of Enchant Christmas

I love the holidays so much. And perhaps the only thing I love more than a great holiday experience with my family – is not having to travel very far to get to it! Enchant Christmas in Arlington TX, ticks both boxes for me. So I was thrilled when I was asked to partner with Enchant this year to give readers the scoop on what this brand new attraction is like.

Spoiler Alert: Enchant Christmas is basically my favorite thing EVER. So get ready for too many exclamation marks, and lot’s of screaming caps as I try not to freak out too much – as I tell you how great I think this place is! Because it is really, really great guys.

Maze Details:

Free with your admission. You will be given a card for each person in your group, and you will scratch off a place for each one of Santa’s Reindeer. Find all 9 – and you can trade your ticket in at the end of the maze for a small prize!

It took our family an hour to get through the whole maze and find every reindeer. It could take much less time if you just want to walk leisurely without the Reindeer hunt portion. But we loved having an element of a game happening as we walked through all the magical Holiday landscapes. We also stopped for a fair number of photos as we went – because it’s basically impossible not to! Every twist and turn of the maze is more amazing than the next!

Is there Food?

OMG. So much food. The only place I’ve ever seen more Food Trucks is in Austin TX, at a legit Food Truck Park. There was truly something for everyone. Mexican, Greek, Coastal, Fusions, German – sweet or savory you are covered. There is also a heated tent with picnic tables available with a cash bar if you want to stay toasty. Or – if you go when it’s 75 degrees out like our family did – enjoy the plentiful outdoor seating with live entertainment feet away!

We heard a Longhorn group while we ate, and thought we were transported to Switzerland!

Can I shop?

There is no shortage of Holiday Shopping available at Enchant Christmas. There are multiple lanes to walk up and down, all featuring hand made goods you can eat, wear, decorate with and more. And Christkindl Lane is full of German inspired gifts and Food so you can enjoy the old world holiday market feel – and pretend you’re in Europe!

My husband lived in Europe as a child and said the Enchant Christmas Market really captured the feeling he remembers shopping at a Christmas market in Vienna. Cafe lights swing above you, and each stall has unique offerings totally different than the one before. It’s a really relaxing experience!

Are there any Discount Pricing Options Available?

Yes. Buy your tickets now and receive special value pricing for select weeknights starting at $15.95. Visit EnchantChristmas.com for details and get your tickets today. Also, keep in mind that some nights are sold out, so you may want to buy online rather than at the box office so you know ahead your spot is saved!

Ice Skating Details:

Already have Ice Skates? No need to pay anything to skate. Just lace up and enjoy the beautiful ice! Need to rent Ice Skates? Totally ok too. Pay $5 for a skate rental, and Enchant will donate 100% of that to amazing groups in our community.

Since Enchant opened on November 24th, $15,750 has already been raised for charity! They support Cook Children’s, Kidd’s Kids, Make-A-Wish North Texas, Special Olympics Texas, and Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation!

All great causes in our neck of the woods. I love that!

Is Enchant Christmas Really Worth Doing?

In my opinion, it is 100% worth doing. In fact, next year I will plan to go more than once. My husband and I both commented in the car on the way home that we wished we could take everyone we knew! It put us both in the Holiday spirit as soon as we walked in. And it’s our families favorite thing we have done so far this holiday season.

I also think a few people on our Christmas list may be getting Enchant Tickets as Christmas presents from us this year! Enchant is open through the 31st of December, so perfect for those hard to buy for people on your list. Surely you have them too, right?

Wish you could see what it’s like before buying Tickets?

You can! Here is a short video of my family and I as we visited Enchant Christmas this week. I hope it helps you to know if Enchant Christmas needs to be added to your families holiday traditions!

Hence forth, It will certainly be a yearly tradition for our family.
