Six years ago, we decorated a few of our cabins with Christmas Lights. We were reminded that we all need more Light in our lives, so each year, we’ve added more lights and more activities as the tradition grew. For the past three years, we have been honored to feature local non-profits in our donation-based experiences, and the community has given generously.
For 2023, our newly expanded walk-thru donation area will have tens of thousands of more lights than the previous year! With over half a million lights. Our observation deck, wildlife center tour, and a special walk-thru experience that has kid friendly scavenger hunt game will connect you and your family to the Joy of Christmas.
We have ziplines, high ropes, escape rooms, and many other activities available in the day time.
No. We encourage everyone to pre-register either in one of the adventure options or for the donation walk-thru. Those registered will be permitted to park.
Great question! If you stretched out all of our Christmas light strands from one end to another, it would go on for more than 40 miles! So now, take those strands and put them on trees and buildings within a quarter mile radius. It’s gonna be fun! 😍
The walk thru is about a half mile of trails and light displays. However, you are more than welcome to stay as long as you like as there will be campfire areas amidst the lights. Grab a warm drink from our cafe and make it a night! On average guests typically plan 1hr-2hrs.
Each week we are honored to feature a non-profit organization. Check our non-profit page for who we are featuring for the time frame you are scheduled for.
You can enjoy the lights two ways. $11 to walk through the lights with access to our 40 ft. observation deck and wildlife center. Or for $49-64 you can go ziplining. All experiences will have the opportunity to donate to our featured non-profit that evening. All donations go directly to the local non-profits.
Our Cafe will be open during the following times and days of the Christmas Light schedule:
5PM-9:30PM
(Note: food service ends at 9PM)

Registered service animals are welcome!
Otherwise, pets are not. We love animals, in fact we have 2 whole areas dedicated to caring for animals- our farm and wildlife center! However, our property especially during our Christmas season is not conducive to having dogs.
