Frost King or the Power of Love

Our latest MOA Winter Diorama was created by Lonnie Hanzon and the magic makers at Hanzon Studios. Now on display through March 2023.
Hanzon tells the story of the seasons as the Frost King proclaims the whole year shall be winter. The Queen Fairy sends the smallest of fairies, Violet, to convince the Frost King to change his heart.
Peer through the cutouts in the windows to see vignettes of the story come to life. MOA is thrilled to once again collaborate with Lonnie Hanzon on this new installation!
Story adapted from “The Frost King: or, The Power of Love” by Louisa May Alcott.

Camp Christmas, 2022

We’re back, Campers! Denver’s campiest, quirkiest holiday adventure is returning to Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park in 2022. Explore a six-acre winter wonderland and rekindle your sense of yuletide cheer at Camp Christmas!
With a classic carousel, hot cocoa, visits with Santa, and sweet treats on hand every night, kids from one to 92 are guaranteed to have a jolly old time. Campers will find themselves wandering through the elaborate campgrounds complete with craft cocktails at one (or all) of our three themed bars, shimmering light displays, and immersive exhibits that will fill your head with visions of Christmases past.
