Enjoy a magical holiday adventure that invites children to use their senses to smell, touch, and taste the spices and other plant parts that make up a classic gingerbread recipe. Discover that cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree, ginger root from an underground stem, and cloves from the bud of a clove tree. Holiday activities include grinding spices, making spicy sachets and ornaments, and decorating gingersnap cookies.

Star pastry chefs are bringing a touch of gingerbread magic to Gingerbread Adventures this year with a Winter Wonderland of Gingerbread Houses. The Wonderland brings to life a popular children's book, The Gingerbread Man, and features five fanciful gingerbread buildings baked by Balthazar and Soutine Bakeries.
