College Station peeps-Winter Wonderland
We are going to visit Winter Wonderland and stay overnight. Our hotel is on Texas Ave.
How long should we allow ourselves to arrive at Winter Wonderland? We want to try and get there around 5:30ish.
How far is Dixie Chicken from Texas Avenue?
Any pointers for our visit?
Re: College Station peeps-Winter Wonderland
Are you talking about Santa's Wonderland?
You can get through it in 30-40 minutes, or stay longer (like maybe 1.5 to 2 hours). When we went last year they had a mechanical bull, some shopping, and a campfire that was fun.
here is generally a pretty good line of cars on the feeder road. I think we waited on the feeder for about 30 minutes.
The Dixie Chicken is not far from Texas Avenue... probably 3-5 minutes depending on the lights. Are you planning to take kids in there? It's a bar, and smoky (unless anything has changed). If you're going with little ones, go in the morning.

We just went last weekend but over the years I've learned it's less busy to go on "off peak" nights (Friday) than it is to go on Saturday so we do Friday nights when we go. It's still fairly busy but the line isn't normally out to the feeder road yet (around 5:30-6:00) we got there right about six and pulled right in. Buy tickets ahead of time, saves you time and they are cheaper online if you buy them and print them. It's only a few bucks but anything saves out there because it can get costly!
The drive through takes about 40 minutes and then you can park and go into the "town" area, it's $10pp. Hope that helps and have a blast.
I've heard the wait is worse this year than in past years. Definitely take snacks and such for the kids.
The Chicken isn't smokey, as there is a no-smoking ordinance in CS now. However, I agree with the others - take them for burgers at lunch or something. Nighttime it's totally a bar.
