Christmas at the Farm

Families can meet Santa Claus for photos, climb aboard a festive wagon ride around the farm, and watch a live Christmas magic show inside the Show Barn. Children can write a letter to Santa, mix their own reindeer food to take home, and challenge each other at Frozen Fairways mini-putt with hockey sticks. The experience also includes visiting farm animals and taking photos at festive seasonal displays.

Tips & Advice

  • Book your tickets early, because each scheduled Santa time has limited tickets and the most popular dates and times can sell out.
  • Book by October 31 to get the Fall Special discount on each Christmas at the Farm ticket.
  • Bring a charged phone or camera, since there's no professional photographer and families take their own Santa photos with help from the elves.
  • Bundle up in coats, hats, mittens and warm boots, because the wagon ride, Frozen Fairways, farm animals and photo ops are all outdoors.
  • Let the kids know ahead of time that Downey's Play Area is closed during Christmas at the Farm, so they aren't disappointed.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Fall Special: book by October 31 and save on each ticket.
  • A fresh-cut Christmas tree lot is on site, with trees sold separately to take home.
