Tips & Advice
- Arrive early for the weekend parades at 10 AM to secure a good viewing spot, especially on days featuring the equestrian program.
- Consider purchasing a full-day wristband for access to multiple activities like the animal visit, wagon ride, train, slide, and maze, plus three additional activity tabs.
- Book "Breakfast with Santa" well in advance as space is very limited and reservations are required.
- Check the specific dates for the "Extra Special Parade" featuring the Gilchrist Farm Equestrian Program for a unique display of horses in holiday costumes.
- Bring cash for the Artisan Marketplace vendors, as not all may accept credit cards.
