Edaville Family Theme Park Christmas Festival of Lights Fun

I have been going to Edaville Family Theme Park at the holidays since I was a kid.  This past weekend we went to Christmas Festival of Lights and had so much fun.

It is so amazing the expansion that Edaville Family Theme Park has gone through over the last few years.  There is always something new to see.  We experienced Dickens Village which is beautiful.

This area also has the main man, Santa Claus!

We always have so much fun with so much to do including amusement rides, the train ride to see the lights, and Thomas Land!

Thomas Land has been a huge addition to the park with so many awesome rides.

 

So pretty with the snow falling.

The kids had a blast in the indoor play area too.

 So cool seeing Tidmouth Sheds with all of Thomas's friends.

Plus Thomas takes you around on the train ride.  The train ran every hour on the hour.  You can ride the train as many times as you want during your visit.

Evan especially loves going on the train.  Despite the light snow falling he decided we should go in the outdoor car.  He said it was the best view, which was true.  If you want a warmer ride go inside the train.

 Here are some views on the train.

 
 


 What better way than to get in the Christmas spirit?

 The kids will have a blast and so will the adults.

We had so much fun with our friends!

Make sure to head to Edaville USA this holiday season and in the summer too!

Elf The Musical Family Fun

We were extremely lucky to attend opening night of Elf the Broadway Musical at the Boch Center Wang Theatre in Boston. This show is awesome and lives up to the hilarious movie. 

The show is in Boston from November 28th to December 10th so you still have time to get tickets!

Erik Gratton is hilarious as Buddy the Elf. He does such a fabulous job with this role with his quirky expressions and perfect delivery. We were laughing out loud at so many moments in the show.

George Wendt will play the role of Santa. You may remember him as Norm in Cheers! During one of his parts he had a drink in his hand and said Cheers and the audience broke in to applause. He was so funny as Santa. He had so many great lines, we loved him!

A few other standouts in the show were Veronica J. Kuehn as Jovie. She had a beautiful voice and wonderful stage presence.

Trey Middleton played Michael and also had a wonderful voice for such a young child.

The sets were also amazing and made you feel engulfed in the story. Santa's sleigh even flies!

Of course the Boch Center Wang Theatre is a lovely venue!

 

It is so beautiful inside!

This is a wonderful show to see this holiday season! Make sure to get your tickets now!

12/12/16: Edaville USA Festival of Lights Holiday Fun

We have an annual tradition of going to Edaville USA at the holidays since I was a kid.  This past weekend we went to Christmas Festival of Lights and had a blast.

 Edaville USA has been expanding a lot.  Each time we visit there is something new to see.  This time we experienced Dickens Village which is beautiful.

There are vendors in the buildings selling a lot of handmade items that are lovely.  There were scarves, candle holders, chocolate and many cool items to see.

 Plus I saw the biggest bunny I have ever seen!

This area also has Santa and you have to go visit him.  I love how it is painted.

There is so much to do and see with amusement rides, the train ride to see the lights, and Thomas Land!  Plus, visit between now and December 28th on Monday-Wednesday and bring a canned good to save $10 off full priced admission at the gate.

Thomas Land has been a large addition to the park with so many fun rides.


So cool seeing Tidmouth Sheds with all of Thomas's friends.

There are so many fun rides plus Thomas takes you around on the train ride.  They were running two trains the night we were there.  There was a very small wait for the train despite the crowds.  You can ride the train as many times as you want during your visit.

The kids love the train ride.  Evan especially loves it.  We usually get there early and ride the train in the light and then go again at dark.  It seems like they also improved the windows on the train as they were not all fogged up as they usually are.

 Here we are going past Thomas Land on the train.

So many beautiful lights to see.

 

In the building with Santa is a new Arcade that was built last year.

 The kids loved this bounce ride and went on it about 10 times in a row!

What better way than to get in the Christmas spirit?

 The kids will have a blast and so will the adults.

There are so many fun places to take pictures.

 We had so much fun with our friends!  Make sure to head to Edaville USA this holiday season and in the summer too!
