EXPLORING OKLAHOMA WITH CHILDREN
In December, Main Street will host holiday markets, caroling, a hot chocolate and soup crawl and more. The Holidays on Ice rink adds to the fun with its own special events including a Rave on the Rink DJ dance party and a movie night. The rink is open daily from Nov. 17 to Jan 7. Admission is $14 with skate rental and $10 without. Kids 5 & under skate for $10. Next to the rink, The One Enid, a multi-event holiday experience, is debuting a brand-new artificial Christmas tree, affectionately known as The Christ Tree. In years past, the tree was a towering fresh-cut evergreen that earned the title of the world’s tallest Christmas tree! But being the world’s tallest in a state known for its sweeping winds posed some significant challenges. In fact, the 2021 tree was damaged by high winds. The new metal tree will stand 122 feet tall and will be covered in nearly 35,000 lights. Each week, the tree will feature a new choreographed light show set to music. Families can watch and listen from their car or get out to enjoy an up-close view of the tree. The One has special events planned throughout the season including a lighting ceremony on opening night Dec 3, a petting zoo on Dec. 9 and photos with Santa on Dec. 16.
