Hey, everyone!
Chrissa here and if you're looking for a truly magical
event in St Petersburg, Enchant Christmas is an awesome one!
And I'm going to go over all of the details to help you decide
if this will be a good event for you and your family.
So let's get into it.
The magical world of Enchant Christmas is going on now
until January 2nd and it transforms
the Tropicana Field into a childhood Christmas dream.
The centerpiece of this entire event is their 100 foot animated Christmas tree.
And Enchant Christmas includes everything from ice skating, taking photos
with Santa and delicious festive holiday treats everywhere you turn.
The price for this event ranges from $25 to $35 for adults
and $25 for kids with children under two free.
You also have to pay for parking, which is $10 per vehicle.
While you are booking keep an eye out for a select special days
throughout the holidays like "Paws and Claus" where you get to bring your
fur kids, as well as the "Spirit of Tampa Bay".
The entire event is broken down into a few different areas.
When you first walk
in, you'll be able to see the village that surrounds the entire event.
This village is where you can walk through their Nordic inspired Christmas
market and sample some of the festive treats and fun
festival drinks that light up in this souvenir cup.
There are so many local vendors here that you'll have plenty
to choose from to find that perfect gift for someone on your list.
While you're in the village, don't miss your chance to visit Santa.
Nestled here at Santa's Landing and his fun elves
that are sprinkled throughout the village.
If you're looking for a fun activity to do with the family, there is also ice
skating available here, where you can skate and enjoy
the millions of lights that dance across the ice.
Here you can glide through their glittering enchant forest.
The skate rentals are available in size eight and up, and you can save a spot
by booking a time online before you arrive.

The main event for Enchant Christmas is the light maze,
and in the light maze you'll get to feel the hustle
and bustle as all of the elves get ready for Christmas.
But one little elf, Eddie, snuck a few toys
to play with and completely forgot where he left them.
So you and your family have a quest to help Eddie the Elf and run
through the maze to find them all.
If you look at the maze from above, it doesn't really look very big.
But don't let that fool you because you can get lost
in the amazing twists and turns throughout.
When you first walk
in, you'll grab your scratch card to help keep track of the toys that you found,
and then you can choose which one of three doors to enter.
Each door has fun and whimsical things to find,
including wonderful toys that you'll encounter.
There are so many different displays
you'll definitely want to bring your camera
because there's a lot of opportunities for photos throughout the maze.
I loved everything from the giant ornaments,
the trees, the lanterns, and check out these oversize
presents that that are so huge you could walk through them.
I love that they surrounded this giant tree in the center of the maze
and it truly made
you feel like you were toy size yourself as you walked through it all.
Plus, each toy that you find is just spectacular.
You almost feel that childhood
joy as you walk around the corner and see another one.
There are eight different toys to find: Ernie's Ducky,
Tommy's Train, JJ's Dino, Cali's
Bear, Savannah's Pony,
Amelia's Plane,
Maya's Ballerina, which I wasn't expecting to be a real ballerina
and my favorite toy hands-down was Azlan's Cube.
Which was this fun, interactive dance floor
that was so fun for the kids and adults alike, including myself.
But like I said earlier, the toys aren't the only fun things to find in the maze.
They also had this awesome light tunnel that was just beautiful
and made an extraordinary backdrop for photos.
But it wasn't the only light tunnel that was in the maze.
There was also the second smaller golden light tunnel
that was completely different, but just as beautiful.
Rounding the corner and looking for more toys,
you can't miss this curtain of raining lights on the outside area of the maze.
I was a little disappointed that you couldn't walk through them
because they were so inviting from afar, but it was still so
beautiful to walk up to.
There
was also this enchanted forest of trees that were really beautiful,
especially right next to the ice skating, but
they weren't the only beautiful trees to admire.
There were plenty of trees throughout the maze and it was so hard
to not want to stop and take photos with every single one of them.
And did I mention that the walls of the maze were stunning, too?
It's like every single side of this maze is just made for Instagram.
If you're looking for a wonderful place to take photos with the family,
this event has so many spots to choose from.
I loved that each toy that you found is also an interactive Christmas display
that you could walk through our stand behind and be a part of.
And it truly was a winter wonderland of lights
that I think your entire family will enjoy no matter how old they are.

Until next time everyone!
I hope you have an amazing holiday season and go out and enjoy some
Florida sunshine.
