A Festival of Activities!

Every Night

• Carriage Rides – Horses take visitors on a nostalgic tour of the park and off the beaten path. Rides are offered every evening of the event except December 7.
• Santa Claus – Santa and his trusty elf welcome children to an historic log cabin decorated in lights, festooned with greenery, and warmed by a fire that burns bright in a large hearth.
• Live Animals – Visit with Santa's reindeer and give them tasty treats!.
• Festival Food – Pretzels, hot cocoa, funnel cakes, bourbon chicken, homemade chicken and noodles, and more!
• Amusement Rides - We have rides for all ages! Older kids and the young at heart will have a blast on the strawberry ride, the mini-Himalaya, and the giant slide! Please note that some of the rides have height requirements.
