When River View Park was developed, a requirement was put in place to set aside 2 ½ acres of adjacent land as a habitat for the endangered Western Willow Fly Catcher, a bird known to nest along the nearby Santa Ynez River. Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden (santaynezvalleybotanicgarden.org) in 2022 created an evening holiday lights attraction which was so popular, it was brought back again in 2023 to entertain, educate and delight locals, families and travelers with its rustic location bathed in beautiful light you can only appreciate by seeing and experiencing.

Your admission ticket includes entry to the Winter Wonderland and the Enchanted Garden, a visit with Santa, roasting Marshmallows, falling snow, music and live entertainment.
