The winter journey is filled with merry activities both inside and outside of the museum beginning with the wildlife themed trail of lights. This path around The Wildlife Experience is lined with beautiful light sculptures and colorfully light-coated trees. Escape the cold with a cup of cocoa from a refreshment station along the path and get a family picture with dazzling Winter WonderLights backdrop, or with one of the many stunning sculptures found along the path!

A perfect place to end the trails’ journey is in The Wildlife Experience’s newest exhibit Globeology. Visitors can warm up by exploring this quarter-mile indoor path through eight different worldly biomes including the Arctic Tundra where visitors can gaze eye to eye with polar bears and delight in the Aurora Borealis.

Before you leave the warmth of the indoors, be sure to write your letter to Santa as you will soon bundle up to wander around the whimsical Santa’s Village. Full of winter charm and merriment, guests enter the enchanting village and are instantly transported to the magical world of the North Pole. Live reindeer prepare for the big night as elves keep busy by entertaining and spreading good cheer. Throughout the village, families are welcomed to a variety of snowy villas where children can visit with Santa as they warm by the fire in the Claus’ living room and take a picture. Each villa provides a new encounter of holiday traditions, new and old, cheerful elves and clever ornamental trimmings. Educational opportunities await families to learn about favorite winter animals, such as the arctic fox, polar bears, orca whales…and many more!

After delivering your letter to Santa, guests can escape the winter chill and relax in the Extreme Screen Theater with a showing of the original animated, How the Grinch Stole Christmas complete with popcorn and other favorite holiday treats.

Start a new tradition with your family and The Wildlife Experience.

Friday August 21, 6-10 p.m.  This was my first “taste” of brew festival last year and um… well, lets just say I tasted A BUNCH of beer!

The event site is great, it poured rain the entire time but  my wife, myself and our group of friends didn’t let that spoil our fun.  It’s not only brews but lots of food to sample, and 1 winery had samples (this made my wife happy). There are food and ale booths set up outside and in, and the atmosphere is just flat out fun!

If you are into the art side of it you can enjoy the large art exhibit along with the wildlife exhibit.  This gives you something to do while you are letting your beer settle so you can go and sample some more.

Here are the details for this year from their website

The Wildlife Experience will host its annual Art and Ale Festival on Friday, August 21. This event features a dazzling lineup of musical entertainment, bountiful brews and tantalizing treats. You will soak up good food and frosty beverages from some of our finest local breweries and restaurants, and you are welcome to peruse The Wildlife Experience’s galleries and exhibits. Ticket prices are $40 per person and $70 per couple. Members of The Wildlife Experience receive a discounted rate of $30 per person. Art and Ale will take place on August 21, rain or shine. This is a 21 and over only event.

If  you see me there, come and say Hi!  I’ll treat you to a brew!
