Green Bay residents have two new family‑friendly holiday attractions to visit this winter, offering festive lighting displays that run each evening through Jan. 2.
According to Fox 11 Online, the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are hosting the second‑year “Holiday Light Display” at Fox Cities Stadium. More than one million lights will illuminate the stands, concourse walls, and surrounding areas, creating glittering rainbows and shimmering trees. The T‑Rats mascot will make appearances, and a five‑ to six‑minute train ride along the left‑field line will take guests past a replica train depot. Visitors can also enjoy s’mores, fire pits, concessions, and a station for writing letters to Santa. Tickets are priced at $12 for Sunday through Thursday and $13 for Friday and Saturday, with the event opening each day at 5 p.m.
In a separate holiday offering, the NEW Zoo and Adventure Park will feature a “candy cane forest” created from oversized metal candy canes fabricated by Ashwaubenon High School tech‑ed students. Teacher Jonathan Butler said the project lets students apply classroom skills to a community project, following last year’s giant snowflake display. The candy canes will line the pathway for the zoo’s “Merry and Bright Canopy Lights” tour, which runs after‑hours on select evenings from Nov. 27 through Jan. 2.
Both attractions provide free‑standing holiday experiences for families seeking safe, outdoor entertainment during the season. The Timber Rattlers display continues nightly through Jan. 2, while the NEW Zoo’s candy‑cane forest is available on various evenings within the same date range. Residents are encouraged to check each venue’s schedule for specific evening times and to purchase tickets for the stadium event in advance.
