The heart of your holiday visit
From Santa’s setting to the Christmas tree trail, make an evening of the experiences that bring everyone together.
Santa & Mancini’s Workshop
A visit with Santa is one of the season’s most special moments. Share your Christmas wishes and make time for a festive family photo in his holiday setting.
Then step into Mancini’s Workshop for letters to Santa, arts and crafts, and hands-on Christmas activities. It’s a chance for children to slow down, get creative, and become part of the holiday story.
The trolley & the tree trail
Climb aboard the Christmas-themed trolley for a ride through the tree farm, with seasonal scenes and decorations along the way. It’s a different perspective on the forest—and a moment to enjoy together.
Back on foot, explore the Christmas Tree Walking Trail of Wonder. Lights, holiday music, and decorated surroundings turn a walk among the trees into part of the adventure.
Stay for the little moments
Add a playful stop to your evening with Christmas-themed mini golf among the Forever Forest holiday surroundings.
Take a break from exploring at the outdoor fire-pit areas and seating. Share stories and enjoy a quieter moment together in the festive atmosphere.
Visit the food court for snacks and drinks during your evening. Food, drinks, merchandise, and optional add-ons are purchased separately.
