T-Rex is back. And so are the popular raptors. The Dinobration exhibit, a crowd favorite since 2003, is returning for the 2008 Celebration in the Oaks™, City Park's annual magical holiday festival. Also new are a dancing light show and a snow machine that will keep Mr. Bingle chilled with hourly snow showers. Of course, the fabled Carousel will be operational, complete with new lighting and music, and the train will take patrons on an enchanted journey highlighted by an electrifying light display along City Park Avenue. New favorites will be the Coney Tower ride and a new Ferris Wheel. A rich tradition is New Orleans' signature, and nowhere is that tradition more evident than during the Christmas season at Celebration in the Oaks™. Join us as we continue to rebuild our great city and share in the joy and spirit of our 24th annual Celebration.
