- Dress warmly in layers, as Rheault Farm is an outdoor event, and bring your camera to capture memorable moments with Santa and the festive decorations.
- Consider visiting during the week or on the designated Sensory-Friendly Night if you or someone in your group prefers a quieter, less stimulating experience.
- Bring a donation of canned goods, cash, or new/gently used toys to support local organizations, making your visit even more meaningful.
