Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Ga. is offering half off admission for guests who donate a new, unwrapped toy to support local Toys for Tots efforts.

“Whenever we ask our guests and the local community to give, they always turn out in big ways, which is why are excited to partner with Toys for Tots again this year,” said Elke Schultz, marketing manager. “Whenever there is an opportunity to make a child’s Christmas merry and bright, it is an opportunity worth taking.”

Guests who bring a new, unwrapped toy valued at least $10 will receive 50% off up to six regular-priced single-day admission tickets. All donations will benefit Valdosta’s local Toys for Tots organization, which will distribute the toys to children in the community. More details can be found at WildAdventures.com.

New to Wild Adventures Christmas is the Candy Cane Express, a peppermint-scented train ride through brilliant light displays set to festive holiday tunes. After riding the Candy Cane Express, guests can take a stroll through twinkling displays along the Glimmering Light Trail that meanders through a real Georgia Swamp decorated with Christmas trees, snowflakes and more.

Also new to the event are the woodland creature antics of “A Very Puppet Christmas,” the new “Magic of Christmas Parade” where kids dance and sing along the way to light up a towering five-story animated Christmas tree, the new S’mores Village where guests can make a tasty treat over an open flame and Georgia’s Largest Snow Foam Party where kids can play in a mountain of foam.

“We are also ending each night of Wild Adventures Christmas with free hot chocolate at the new Wanyama Observation Deck,” said Schultz. “Our guests will be able to cap off a magical day with delicious hot chocolate as they enjoy the views at Wanyama which overlooks an open range featuring animals from throughout Asia and Africa.”

Complementing the new additions to Wild Adventures Christmas are several returning events and attractions, including visits and photos with Santa, “The Miracle of Christmas: A Living Nativity,” The Drummer Boys percussion show, “Holly Frostington’s Elf Training Academy” interactive show, Mrs. Claus’s Storytime, cookie decorating and ornament decorating.

“Wild Adventures Christmas is the biggest holiday celebration in our region, and we can’t wait to welcome families this year for a bright and festive experience they will never forget,” said Schultz.

Wild Adventures Christmas continues select days through Dec. 31. Tickets and Season Passes are available for purchase at WildAdventures.com.
