S’mores Stations & Seasonal Libations

While out exploring the luminous landscape, stop by one of the many kiosks throughout the grounds for hot cocoa or festive holiday spirits. S’mores kits will be available to purchase and roast at the stations behind the Holiday Marketplace in the Frist Learning Center.
