Arizona Tribune - Christmas at Schnepf Farms Offers Hours of Outdoor Family Fun for the Holidays

Christmas at Schnepf Farms is back for a sixth year, and the outdoor holiday family experience is gearing up to be bigger and better than ever. When the gates open November 29, guests will have the run of more than 30 acres of the east valley farm and enjoy nearly 50 holiday-themed attractions. This year's offerings include a Christmas carousel, hayride to feed the reindeer, a petting zoo, ice skating, a giant obstacle course, and snow-globe mini golf. Children also can experience the magic of Christmas with a personal audience with Santa Claus himself. The farm's interactive Santa's workshop invites little ones to step into a world of wonder and enchantment. They can tour the workshop, peek into Kris Kringle's secret toy-making process, and even write letters to the North Pole.

Kids of all ages can hop aboard the all-new Illumination Express train ride, which features an exciting light show extravaganza, synchronized to beloved holiday music. When finished, guests can soak up the warmth of one of Schnepf Farms' Christmas campfires, complete with the option of added-on hotdog or s'mores kits. In addition to a variety of food vendors and food trucks, adults can enjoy a large beer and wine garden while the children explore the park. This year, single-serve wine bottles, holiday craft cocktails, and a coffee and hot chocolate bar are all available to aid in the merriment.

"The valley has great holiday event options, but Christmas at Schnepf Farms is the one destination that has something for everyone," said one of the farm's organizers, Callie Graham. "Kids, mom, dad, grandma, and everyone in between will find multiple attractions to choose from and enjoy, so it's definitely money well spent."

It is recommended that guests purchase tickets in advance at www.schnepfchristmas.com, as sold-out nights are common. Ticket prices begin at $19.95 online for the twilight ticket, which starts at 7:30 PM. Those who wish to arrive early at 5:00 PM can purchase a general admission ticket for $24.95 online. Children 2 years of age and under are free of charge.

Christmas at Schnepf Farms runs Thursday through Sunday, beginning November 29 until December 24 and is open all week leading up to Christmas Eve.
