Tips & Advice
- Plan to park on the neighboring streets, because the lot at the Discovery Center is limited.
- Dress warmly for a morning outdoors, since the hayrides, petting zoo, candy cane hunt and bonfire are all part of a winter celebration.
- Come hungry, because breakfast and lunch are both served and there are s'mores at the bonfire.
- If the hayrides are a must, keep in mind they start an hour after the event opens and run until the end.
