The same company that created the Calaverandia (Day of the Dead) theme park in Guadalajara is once again putting together a nighttime Christmas-themed spectacle in the same location—the Parque Alcalde.
At Navidalia, patrons will be able to enjoy around 30 attractions, including a massive multi-media piñata, an 18-meter-tall Christmas tree, giant Reyes Magos (Wise Men), an ice walk (and rink), train ride, Christmas characters and much more.
The winter wonderland will showcase all the typical Christmas traditions, but accentuate Mexicans ones, its creators say.
The theme park will be divided into four main zones—the Mexican Posada, Nordic, European and Middle Eastern—and include 1.6 kilometers of walkways. A special feature of a visit to the park will be performances by Canticorum, a large orchestra and choir offering some of the best-loved Christmas carols and music from around the world.
Visitors should reckon on spending at least four hours in the theme park, organizers say.
Navidalia will be open Tuesday, December 6, though December 30, (closed on December 12, 19 and 24). Hours will be 7 p.m. to midnight, Sunday through Thursday; and 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
General admission is 590 pesos for adults, 290 pesos for children, but does not include all of the attractions. A Comfort Pass, including full access, preferential seating and access to the Tequila San Matias comfort zone, costs 1,360 pesos for adults and 770 pesos for children. Free parking is available across from the theme park.
