The park's European-style waterfront plaza showcases choreographed fountain shows where water jets soar up to 70 feet in the air synchronized to holiday melodies and vibrant laser projections. Families can stroll the one-mile paved promenade encircling Cranes Roost Lake, admiring illuminated floating displays and illuminated arches. On select weekend evenings, Santa visits for photos and local children's choirs perform in the outdoor amphitheater. The wide boardwalks are flat, accessible, and completely stroller friendly. ## Similar picks in Orlando - [Lake Eola Park Christmas Tree Lighting & Wonderfall Light Show](https://grassyknees.com/orlando/activities/lake-eola-park-christmas-tree-lighting-and-wonderfall-light-show--listing-47620ada1797b9d999507c3c) — Dec 4 – Jan 6 · 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Lake Eola Park · All ages · Free · checked Nov 4.
