*Special Drive Thru on Christmas Eve! We will open from 6pm-9pm. There will be NO magic show, train rides, Grinch, craft vendors, or Santa since he will obviously be at the North Pole preparing for his big night. This is strictly a drive thru event. Admission will be $20 per car - CASH ONLY. Because we will have limited staff we can not process credit cards, so please pay with cash.
