About this adventure
Celebrate a relaxed, natural Florida holiday along the crystal-clear waters of the Wekiva River. Wekiva Island's Winter Wonderland features a towering 30-foot Christmas tree overlooking the river, thousands of sparkling holiday lights, daily Florida 'snow' flurries, and visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus in their riverside workshop. Families can roast s'mores by open fire pits, watch outdoor holiday movies on the lawn, and take family boat rides down the peaceful river. The sandy riverside area has wooden boardwalks for strollers, shaded picnic tables, and open-air casual dining.
