About Us

We literally bring the magic to life with our cast of talented actors and immersive storyline. Although we will still have a lighted walk throughout the woods, our focus is more on creating an interactive and theatrical story walk.

Doors open at 5:30 in the Festival Area.  Then the Winter Wonder Walk will open with actors from 6-8:30 pm.  If you are climbing the Aerial Glow Trail, too, please arrive between 5:30 and 6:30 pm to check in and have time to climb the Aerial Glow Trail and walk the Winter Wonder Walk.  The Glow Trail will close at 8 pm and the Winter Wonder Walk will close at 8:30 pm.  Please plan time to park, check in, and sign waivers. 

It is our way to give back to our community. $1 from every ticket goes back to MANNA Foodbank, which generates 4 meals. Memories Making Meals is an extension of Boo To Hunger from the Haunted Trail. Together these programs have raised 76,952 meals in just 3 years!

There is a festival area with a holiday market, a kids’ play area, and a warm festival tent buzzing with local vendors, tasty concessions, and activities for the family.  And of course, the aerial Glow Trail (if it is not sold out.)

If we buy a Combo Pass Ticket, do I need to fill out a waiver if we just came to the Adventure Center or Kolo Bike Park? Yes, the Combo Pass waiver includes the Winter Wonder Walk waiver and a new one must be completed each year.  Here is the link!

The walkways of the Adventure Center are deep gravel.  The Winter Wonder Walk is on an outdoor trail with layers of carpet, roots, rocks, etc.  While we try our best to make it an easy walking trail, strollers and wheelchairs are not recommended.

There is no need to bring your own food and drink, because we've got all your needs covered! You c an even order a Mellow Mushroom pizza in advance!

Besides the heated tent area, the Winter Wonder Walk is a trail walk through the woods. Please dress for the weather outdoors and wear appropriate shoes.

We plan to operate in most weather, however if the weather is not cooperating, we will make our call by approximately 11am. We will post it on our facebook page and the Adventure Center of Asheville's page. If we end up canceling a show day, your tickets will be honored on the next show day you are available. If there is bad weather on the last day, we will notify you on how we will proceed.

We take cash and credit cards at all concessions and registration. We are highly encouraging our vendors to do as well.
