Journey with Alice to Wonderland where you will enter a “Caucus Race,” laugh at the antics of TweedleDee and TweedleDum, attend the zany Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, Paint the Roses Red, Play Croquet with the Queen of Hearts and her Jabberwocky Raven, meet the mysterious Cheshire Cat, and rescue the Mad Hatter from the Red Queen when he goes on trial for stealing her tarts.
