Embrace the snow and the cold Saturday, January 31 at Wonders of Winter in Maple Grove!

Once again this year, Maple Grove is hosting a Wonders of Winter event to celebrate all things winter in Minnesota. This year’s event takes place Saturday, January 31, 2026 from 1 – 4 pm at Central Park.

Celebrate winter with a variety of winter activities – all for FREE! Take a scenic horse-drawn wagon ride through Central Park, warm up by the fire, treat yourself to some delicious s’mores, and more.

I’m local to Maple Grove, and Central Park really is quite lovely. It’s a great destination for family fun year-round. I love that this event happens every winter to bring us some cheer!

  • Live ice carver
  • Scavenger hunt
  • Horse & wagon rides
  • Art activities
  • Ice Skating at the Loop
