Christmas Wonderlands — Attraction in Manalapan Township

My family had such an unforgettable time at this Christmas Wonderland! From the moment we stepped into the walkthrough, we were completely surrounded by holiday magic. The Christmas lights twinkled everywhere, and each Christmas scene was carefully designed to be both festive and photogenic. It felt like stepping into a holiday movie, with backdrops that were perfect for family Christmas photos. My children loved pointing out every detail, from the decorations to the music, and we ended up capturing some of our best holiday pictures here. Unlike other events that feel rushed or crowded, this was organized beautifully, with enough space to enjoy each display and plenty of opportunities to pause for family pictures.

The highlight of the experience was, of course, meeting Santa Claus at the end. He was so warm and friendly with the kids, and the fact that families are allowed to take their own Santa photos made the whole experience even more special. No pressure to buy an expensive package — just genuine, memorable holiday fun. This is one of the best Christmas activities for families near me, and I can’t recommend it enough to parents searching for holiday events for kids, Christmas walkthroughs, Santa photo spots, or fun family Christmas traditions. We’ve already decided this will be part of our holiday routine every...

I had such a wonderful time at Christmas Wonderlands! From the moment I arrived, the festive atmosphere was unbeatable. The highlight for me was being able to take my own photos with Santa—no crowds or long waits, just a cozy and picturesque setting. The Christmas tree farm was lovely, with rows of beautiful trees to choose from.

What really stood out, though, was the Christmas event itself. The Christmas Walkthrough was absolutely magical—perfectly decorated with vintage holiday charm, twinkling lights, and scenes that captured the true spirit of Christmas. I found the entire experience to be much more enjoyable than my visit to Anne Ellen Christmas Tree Farm in the past.

It was the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit, and I’ll definitely be back next year! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a festive, family-friendly outing with great photo...

Visited Christmas Wonderlands for the first time in 2023. Loved it and so did my daughter (it was the first thing she asked to do again this year). Chatted for a bit last year with the gentleman that puts it all together, how he refurbishes these old props and sets this all up. He was so nice and enthusiastic. When I came back this year with my daughter and her friend, I wanted to say hello but figured he was busy. However, he recognized me from a year ago, stopped over, said hello and thanked us for coming back. This year they added Mickey and the Grinch. And what's really a fantastic bonus is getting to see Santa and take your own pictures and not be forced to buy a $50+ photo package just to say hello. Really adorable setup. Will be...
