The whole park turns into a magical blast from the past with the sound of roving Christmas carolers singing while horse-drawn carriages transport visitors throughout the streets.

New this year is the option to book a private Christmas carriage tour of the village with room for up to seven people. Rides are limited so make sure to book your ticket here before they sell out.

Some returning activities include Christmas musicals, visits with Santa, festive photo ops, a children’s maze, Christmas crafts and gingerbread cookie decorating.

There is so much for kids to enjoy including a “kids-only” store so little ones can find the perfect gifts for loved ones (with the help of volunteers) and you can relax in the parents’ lounge.

There is also a Christmas market complete with live entertainment and local vendors.
