A $10 million holiday attraction is coming to Dade City this November, giving Tampa-area families a new reason to head north when the seasonal lights switch on. Wunder Glow is planned as a 50-acre walk-through experience built around a mile-long trail through a mature oak forest.
The attraction will feature more than a dozen concert-scale light scenes, with nearly all of them synchronized to their own music, according to WFTV. Visitors will also find interactive experiences, photo opportunities, visits with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and a Christmas Village.
Wunder Glow’s official site lists the attraction as coming in November 2026 and is collecting signups for early ticket access and updates. Operating dates, hours and ticket prices are expected to be announced in September, so the biggest unanswered question for families right now is how much this elaborate night out will cost.
A Separate Holiday Attraction Beside Snowcat Ridge
Wunder Glow is being developed by the team behind Snowcat Ridge, but it will not simply be a few extra light displays added to the existing snow park. The new attraction will have its own entrance and facilities, while Snowcat Ridge continues with its regular winter season, WFTV reports.
The two experiences will share the same Dade City property at 27839 Saint Joe Road, about 35 minutes north of downtown Tampa. Snowcat Ridge’s website says its next season will also begin in November 2026, setting up a sizable winter-entertainment destination with both manufactured snow and a separate music-driven light trail.
Tickets And Exact Opening Dates Are Still Coming
For now, Wunder Glow is asking potential guests to join its online club for discounts, sneak peeks and announcements. The September ticket release should clarify whether the attraction will use timed entry, seasonal passes or other pricing options, details that could matter for a destination expected to draw visitors from across the Tampa Bay area.
