A Winter Wonderland Edition Review:
Town Square Park is the centerpiece of its namesake outdoor lifestyle shopping mall. During the Christmas and Holidays Season, it is a playground for children of all ages. There have been a couple of December days when this 40-something year old adult child visited its Winter Wonderland. In reality the term 40-something year old adult child is a metaphor for a hard working adult that is escaping the effects of stress in a joyful environment. In other words, there is a positive psychological benefit for grown ups visiting the Winter Wonderlands that sprout up in the desert during the Christmas and Holidays Season. In a fast-paced world full of stress and uncertainty, they are a respite. They also provide Las Vegans with an annual tradition.
During this joyful time of year Town Square Park with this schedule of events :
Photos with Santa. November 17 to December 23.
Snow in the Square: November 16 to December 23.
Monday-Thursday. 7 PM
Friday - Sunday. 7 PM and 8 PM.
Princess Peppermint hosts events on Saturdays.
This past Tuesday on December 18, this was the sequel to a Winter Wonderland adventure following the Silverton Aquarium. In the sundown hours I hung out here and it's namesake mall until the snow in the square at 7 PM.
At the beginning of the adventure, I entered this storybook Christmas scene over on a bridge over a pictorial pond complete with fountains. This is scenic spot to capture the towering Christmas Tree with water. It is the Winter Wonderland landmark. What a Landmark! Once the sun faded and the stars came out, the Christmas tree came to life. It kept me and hundreds of children of all ages captivated with its glittering color patterns including red and green. However, it was when the Snow in the Square occurred at 7 PM when it became the star of a show centering attention on Christmas songs.
Throughout the late afternoon, Town Square Park was lively. Children played in the playground, rode in the Town Square Train, and stepped into Santa Clause's house for a photo. As for me, I made my way throughout the park taking pictures and trying to live in the moment. When I got deeper in the park, the scenery treated my eyes to the Christmas tree towering with Santa's House on golf course green grass. Maybe next year they will adorn the landscape with fake snow. Surrounding the park, Merry mall-goers patronized Capriotti's, the Raider's Preview Center, Game Works, the Yard house, AMC, and other businesses. Across from the Christmas Tree and Santa's House, I patronized the Coffee Bean. Sipping a drip coffee as many do hot cocoa in the cooler months, I comfortably enjoyed the moments until the snow fall. By the way, the outside Coffee Bean seats provide a prime view of the extravaganza across the street in the Winter Wonderland.
I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to escape a stressful world for a few hours in Town Square Park's Winter Wonderland. I write this because there might not be another opportunity again. It was only last year that I missed out on joyful times like these working overtime almost everyday in December. Before concluding this review, I wanted to say that I have been here many times. However, it was incorporated as the check-ins under the Town Square Business Listing.
