“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.” – A Christmas Carol
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be inside a snow globe? Admit it, you’ve always been fascinated by that little orb of magic that, when shaken, calms the soul and turns you into a kid again.
Reserve your magical hour in one of nine festive domes, each decorated in a unique Holiday theme. The one-hour experience can accommodate up to six people and includes the private snow globe, a delicious charcuterie grazing box curated by Luxe Picnics by Les, and a bottle of natural spring water. Snow globes are equipped for any kind of weather this year thanks to Snyder Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric!
Come early and enjoy the Enchanted Village tavern, The Portly Gentleman, with a selection of red or white wine, beer and bubbly. Have a glass or purchase a bottle to accompany your grazing box.
Step inside the fun and spend an hour with friends or loved ones, creating cherished memories that could even turn the heart of ole Scrooge himself. And, maybe … just maybe, you might see snow!

How the Snow Globe was Born
Did you know that the snow globe was invented at the end of the Victorian Era in 1900? Austrian Erwin Perzy lived on the outskirts of Vienna and upon thinking he could make a brighter light source than the one Thomas Edison invented, set out tinkering on a new idea. Mounting a solid glass lens in front of the lightbulb offered more magnification of the light. But, because glass lenses were quite expensive in those days, he instead employed a water-filled glass globe to replace the lens. To get more reflection, he poured a coarse flour (semolina) in the water, and it started snowing! This inspired a moment of creativity where the light source was all but forgotten and the “snow globe” was born. The Perzy family are still making snow globes to this day.
