Kick off your holiday adventures with a brand-new family event: Holiday Ice & Lights Festival at Lake Metroparks Farmpark, which takes place November 28-30.
Guests can enjoy an assortment of festive activities inspired by some of Santa and Mrs. Claus’ own favorite holiday traditions. Start your visit by posing for a photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus in their festive sleigh, a cherished spot for capturing holiday memories.
From there, explore the North Pole Train Display, meticulously crafted by the talented elves of the Northern Ohio Garden Railway Society. Bigger and more intricate than ever, the display features whimsical details and hidden surprises that delight visitors of all ages, much like Santa’s personal train room.
Families can also decorate Mrs. Claus’ famous sugar cookies (small fee) before stepping outside to watch talented ice carvers transform blocks of ice into shimmering sculptures featuring festive characters and seasonal elements. A wagon ride through dazzling light displays offers a chance to take in the sparkling magic of the park, followed by a holiday-themed equine show showcasing spirited performances.
Guests can warm up with seasonal drinks and treats from local vendors (small fee) and browse the Farmpark gift shop for unique holiday gifts, rounding out a full day of enchanting experiences.
