Tips & Advice

  • Arrive a little early on Santa nights, which fill the fastest, and expect the Santa and Grinch weekends to be the busiest of the season.
  • For a quieter visit, come during the last half hour of the evening, when the crowds thin out noticeably compared with the earlier shows.
  • Stop for a restroom before you head over, since there are none on site because the whole display sits in a family's front yard.
  • Bring a little cash for the Christmas Market, since most vendors take cards but it varies from night to night.
  • Check Facebook before you drive over, because rain, high winds or extreme cold cancel the show, while light snow does not.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New for 2026: Fezziwig's Bits & Baubles, a Christmas market with local vendors, artists and crafters inside the display on weekend evenings.
  • The Conductor, straight off the Polar Express, visits December 4 and 5.
  • The Grinch drops by December 11 and 12.
  • Santa visits December 18 and 19 and reads every letter in the mailbox.
  • More guests are being booked for opening weekend and Christmas weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I park?

Park on School Lane or the surrounding streets. There are a few hundred spaces within a short walk. Don't park on S. Camp Meade Rd., and cross where the crossing guard tells you.

Can wheelchairs and strollers get through the walk-through?

Yes. The whole route has no steps, but the paths mix pavement, grass and gravel. Strollers with bigger wheels handle the gravel better. Seating is limited, so bring a folding chair if standing is hard.

Are there restrooms?

No, there are none on site because it's a family's front yard. If you get caught out with a small child, find a volunteer.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Rain, high winds or extreme cold will cancel a night. Light snow does not. Cancellations go up on Facebook first and on the site banner.

How long should we allow?

Plan on 30 to 60 minutes. That covers the show out front and then the walk-through out back.
