Merridale’s Santa Experience

Event Description

Join us for a quintessential Christmas experience that’s sure to leave children and adults alike in wonder. Santa will be making a special appearance at Merridale every weekend in December and he has a surprise in store for your little ones. He knows just what they want for Christmas!

You’ll feel like you’ve just stepped into Santa’s workshop as you enter a dazzling holiday scene in the courtyard. Thousands of twinkling lights and a spectacular Christmas display make this a truly magical experience.

After visiting with Santa, the adventure continues with an eye spy scavenger hunt. Can your kids find all the festive surprises in our holiday display? A special treat is waiting to reward them for efforts!

Each ticket includes:
- A 15-minute visit with Santa
- An eye spy holiday scavenger hunt
- A hot apple juice
- A baked treat

Before You Come:

Very limited walk-in space is available. We strongly recommend booking online to secure your spot.

When you purchase your ticket, you’ll be asked to fill out a short survey to let us know what your kids want for Christmas this year and what they received from Santa last year. Santa will be checking his Naughty or Nice list so he can let your little ones know that he knows what they’ve asked for.

When You Arrive:

Check-in at the Farmhouse Eatery when you arrive. Our friendly team will guide you to your visit with Santa.

Cost:

$20 per child. Adults are welcome to join free of charge. We kindly ask that families bring a maximum of two children per adult in attendance.

We will have a special family meal offering available for those who would like to join us in the Farmhouse Eatery after your Santa Experience.
