The festivities kick off with the ceremonial lighting of Moore's community Christmas tree, followed by a festive fireworks display over the central park lake. Children can explore Santa's Holiday Village inside the Community Center, where they can make holiday tree ornaments, write letters to Santa, and pose for free keepsake photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Outside, families can take a trackless holiday train ride around the park's illuminated paths, listen to local school choirs, and enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and s'mores roasted over outdoor fire pits. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Wide, well-paved concrete pathways circle the lake and link all parking areas, making stroller and wagon navigation seamless. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated, modern family restrooms equipped with diaper changing stations are located inside The Station at Central Park recreation center. • Age Suitability: All ages welcome; plenty of open outdoor space and supervised children's craft stations make it ideal for families with multiple kids. • Sensory Tips: The tree lighting features a short, energetic fireworks display around 6:30 PM; ear protection is recommended for noise-sensitive toddlers. ## Similar picks in Oklahoma City - [A Very Merry Mustang Holiday Light Trail & Tree Lighting](https://grassyknees.com/oklahoma-city/activities/a-very-merry-mustang-holiday-light-trail-and-tree-lighting--listing-cab74f92ef4ff2f16268e163) — Sat, Dec 5 · 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM · Wild Horse Park, Mustang · All ages · Free · checked Nov 5.
