    Winter Wonderland AZ.
    Joyce W.

    "Winter Wonderland Arizona was born the Christmas of 1987. Fueled by twinkling lights outside of his window, creator Chris Birkett began this journey. The display has lived at five different homes and spent a season out at Schnepf Farm in 2005. This is our 35th season of Winter Wonderland! Opening Dec. 8th and running through Jan. 1st! There are over 265,000 lights, nine different computerized shows with snowfall, bubbles, and pyrotechnics. Come enjoy the spirit of Christmas in Arizona!" ― winterwonderlandaz.com We're a week away from Christmas and I am fully leaning into the festive spirit. Do you want to visit a home decorated to the point where you can walk through and see some pretty lights? Come here! Get some hot cocoa and marshmallows. You can toast the marshmallows at a fire pit near the front. It's a super cute. Winter Wonderland AZ also puts on an amazing Halloween display called, "The Haunted Graveyard" so definitely come check this place out come spooky season! There's always a huuuge line and Chris Birkett's brother also has his own haunted house a couple streets away! Come see the Birkett's Brothers and don't forget to donate!

    It's a tradition for me to visit this Scottsdale Valley home because I have a family member that lives down the street. This house puts up over 250,000 lights every year and has been doing this for over 35 years. Winter Wonderland runs through the month of December and accepts donations to walk through it. In addition to lights, there are Christmas characters, walk-through displays, pyrotechnics and snow that falls on you. They also have a window where you can order hot chocolate and marshmallows. There is a nearby firepit where you can toast them. For Halloween, they turn their house into the Haunted Graveyard which always draws a long line down the street.

    "Winter wonderland", definitely a magical place here in Arizona. I can't even imagine how long it takes for them to decorate these houses but this was truly a magical place. It was even in a movie. God bless people like you to give so many people enjoyment. This was free to do, you park, and you walk around. There were slot boxes for donations and of course we don't mind to help with the electricity bill because it definitely puts a smile on many peoples faces and stars in their hearts. Thank you my friends. Merry Christmas. http://winterwonderlandaz.com/.

    First time here and it was wonderful! So nice of the owners to decorate and welcome everyone to see their decorations! So cool going thru the backyard all decorated! There's even hot chocolate. Even snow blowing and bubbles!

    It was Christmas Eve in Scottsdale and we were looking to celebrate the season. A light show sounded good this cold winter night. Music was playing. Bright lights lit up this one block. Hot chocolate and marshmallows were for sale. A castle was the centerpiece. Snow was falling. There was a backyard scene from the "Island of Misfit Toys". Most amazing winter wonderland I've ever seen at a home. This all takes place at Burkett family's house.

    My DD and I didn't go home for the holidays this year, so we were bored and looking for something to do on the evening of Christmas Day. I opened the Yelp app and the first thing I saw was a Yelp friend's photos of this place. I checked the website first, which offered helpful tips (e.g. park on Granite Reef and walk to the house) and tidbits (a suggested donation of $5 is appreciated). There was a nice crowd already there when we arrived, but it never felt too crowded. I was able to park on Granite Reef, walk across the street, and to the house, about a hundred feet away. The display and light show was amazing. Keep in mind, this is actually someone's home, which they've opened (the outside grounds; not the inside. Please don't try to get inside their home.) to the public to enjoy. The front yard was completely transformed into a winter wonderland. During the light show, the lights will dance along to the beat of the music selection. There was manufactured snowfall at various times throughout our time there. It was so beautiful. There were lots of selfie and group photo opportunities, from the front yard's display, the humongous bear and sled, snowman, and reindeer on their driveway. Walk up the driveway and enter the next phase, which included a fire pit with tree stump seats and utensils for making s'mores and roasting marshmallows, and a makeshift festive walk-through "mine," which included a Frozen display, complete with the soundtrack. So if you heard a grown woman painfully belting out, 'Let it Go,' that was unapologetically me. They also had a stand, where you could buy hot cocoa (in regular or the family recipe), marshmallows, etc. I thanked the woman at the stand for opening up their home and bringing joy. (She said it was her son's house.) The public was well behaved and courteous, with the exception of a male who thought it was a good idea to show up (with his son) wearing a hat with Trump's words "Grab her by the ....." on it. Dude, politics aside, that was just plain ole bad taste. THINK OF THE CHILDREN! The display is open from 07Dec-31Dec (for 2016), from 6pm-10pm. I happily left my donation in one of the various donation slots throughout the property. I can only imagine what that APS bill must be by the end of the season. Thank you Birkett family for this beautiful display, and thanks Yelp for the great find!

    Second surprise find for me. Beautifully designed, presented and decorated. It put me in the holiday spirit.
