Tips & Advice

  • Join the line to see Santa at least 45 minutes before closing, because the line is cut off before the event ends.
  • Dress warmly and bring your camera, because Santa Village is spread across a 15-acre enclosed farm with reindeer and light displays.
  • Bring canned goods, cash, or new or gently used toys to donate, because they go to local groups like the Great Plains Food Bank.
  • If you want a horse-drawn carriage ride, come on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and buy tickets at the concession stand inside the Bunkhouse.
  • If anyone in your group needs a break from the bustle, pick up a sensory kit or use the quiet space at the Little Red House.

Special Events & Promotions
