Tips & Advice

  • Pick your date early: the Christmas Village opens on only four days, the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving and two Saturdays in December.
  • The horse-drawn wagon ride is sold separately and only runs on Village dates, so book it when you book your Christmas Village visit.
  • Make a bigger day of it by pairing the Village with another estate event, like the Christmas Light Drive-Thru or the National Christmas Center, booked on the same page.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Horse-drawn wagon ride add-on on all four Christmas Village dates (booked separately)
