Indianapolis Christmas Carnival

Epic event! We were so impressed. We brought our 7 & 9 year old boys and they enjoyed it all! All the workers were amazing, helpful, putting safety first, and even had mascots busting a move on the dance floor with the kids! Re: others negative feedback… We chose not to allow our children into the “scary” black light area but that’s what parenting is about! The venue offers variety but yes for what we thought was a religious grounds, we were very surprised. Nonetheless it was easy to find other black light fun, like the climbing wall! For the price, it didnt matter if we chose not to do all activities because it was still a great value for the dozens of things they had to offer. One of the best nights out we’ve had this holiday! We enjoyed all the lights, activities, and effort put into staffing such a large venue with so much to do. My son loved the Grinch experience and his face lit up every time he saw Elf on the Shelf after tearing up the dance floor together!. Also the light tunnels. I enjoyed the train driver, dressed authentically as a conductor with the bell and being fun! Even the staff was having a great time, and that itself is contagious!

If I had to choose to throw a Christmas carnival it would be just like this one. Me and my family loved all of the stations. All of the workers/actors were on point ! Everyone was so positive and fun :) and of course the best part of all the roasted popcorn hehe. GREAT job waterman’s!!! We always have a great time there. Whether it’s the pumpkin patch or now the Christmas carnival :) Side note : Rudolph was getting it on the dance floor hahah we loved it !

The kids loved all the lights and characters they got to meet. Their favorite was meeting Santa and the rides! We had the best time so we came back again the next day to do everything we missed the night before. Taco truck was delicious as well Will come again next year!

The lights were pretty but i wish there were more lights. The train ride could have been longer. We loved all the fun houses just wish there were more interactive and bigger but all the characters were super fun. Especially the creepy one, they definitely scared my boyfriend and nephew which was a big laugh. Loved the dance party. Just need more things for the little kids to do like a snow machine, indoor ball pit, pet reindeer or something even though my son liked the fun houses. We didnt get to go on the big bouncy slide but next year hopefully we will. It was our first time and it was way better than taking pictures with santa so thank you.

It was not what I expected. However we still had fun looking at the lights. The positive was the lights and having a sign that changed colors to let you know its your turn to enter. The downside is they advertise carnival rides and games that was an understatement on their part. They had rock wall and the jump thing. The rest was fun houses. They basically had every kid character they can which didn't really fit into the holiday theme. In my opinion they should not have a krumps at a family friendly event..
