Cool off at one of the Heard’s most popular summer traditions — with a frosty twist. Let It Snow! brings Alaska-inspired fun to the desert, giving families a chance to beat the heat while staying cool indoors with full A/C. Step into the world of Molly of Denali: An Alaskan Adventure* and engage with hands-on activities that invite kids to play, create, and imagine life in Alaska.

This high-energy, family-friendly event is the perfect way to stay cool, get creative, and make summer memories together — no parka required.
