Nightly Activities

Each night, The Lights of Christmas is packed with fun-filled activities including live music, story-telling, crafts, food, pony rides, a petting farm, and Polar Express Train rides. The kids will love making their own toy in the Elfland Toyshop, listening to carolers, and visiting with Santa Claus or Bruce the Spruce, the talking Christmas tree.
