Located in the heart of Des Moines' vibrant Historic East Village, this 100% locally created pop-up experience is unlike any other in Des Moines or even the Midwest. We start with the over-the-top holiday decor but unlike the others, we don't stop there. Instead, we turn up—literally— the holiday fun with an immersive sound, light, and video show set to your favorite holiday hits every 30 minutes. And, of course, it wouldn't be a real Winter Wonderland if we didn't have SNOW!

But that's just the beginning. What would the holidays be without an exceptional menu of handcrafted holiday cocktails made just for the occasion! Our expert bartenders have been working all year long to bring you the finest festive libations to share with friends and family. Every Winter Wonderland ticket includes your first drink, but we doubt it will be your last!

Join us in making this season’s festivities truly unforgettable at Winter Wonderland. The magic awaits nightly from November 21st through December 30th, only at Nightingale Cocktail. Guests under 21 years of age are allowed prior to 9PM (no guests under 21 may be on the premises after 9PM) when accompanied by parent or guardian over the age of 21. Valid ID is required for all guests consuming alcoholic beverages.

New for 2025, the Winter Wonderland experience expands to our newly renovated outdoor patio! Enjoy the crisp holiday air under the electric glow of a ceiling of thousands of twinkling lights. Snap a photo in front of our giant Winter Wonderland photo wall and say hello to our newest brrrrrtender at our outdoor bar! There's more Wonderland than ever before with our new expanded Winter Wonderland Experience!
