The Winter Sleigh Ride Show is a professionally produced theatre production staged in up to five locations, outdoors, on our 80-acre venue. The audience is transported from scene to scene by horse-drawn sleigh (or wagon, depending on the snow). A winter tradition for thousands of families, the Winter Sleigh Ride show is a one-of-a-kind experience, incorporating the adventure and beauty of a night-time horse-drawn sleigh ride, the spectacle of professionally executed theatre design, and the high calibre performances for which this company has become known.
