Tips & Advice

  • The mansion is closed until 2:00 p.m.; arrive at or after that time if seeing its Victorian decorations is a priority.
  • Wear layers when spending time near the porch musicians, since their performance is outdoors and you may be outside during the event.
  • Allow time for the separate features: decorations are throughout the mansion, candy-making demonstrations are in the kitchen, and Santa visits are in the Classroom.
  • Bring a phone or camera if you want keepsake pictures of the Victorian decorations and Santa; both are listed event features.
