Information: Depending on the snow conditions, we’ll hitch our draft horse team to a wagon or a sleigh and take you for a 30-minute ride through Jester Park.
Sleigh Rides require a minimum of 6 inches of packed snow as a proper base for the sleigh. A wagon will be used when there is no snow or not enough snow to pull a sleigh.
Length: Holiday Rides are 30 minutes long. Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled ride.
Party Size: Up to 12 guests. Small children who can comfortably sit on an adult's lap do not need to be included in the count.
Cost: $200
