About this adventure

The Christmas Ranch in Morrow is a family-run Christmas village with one million dancing lights synchronized to holiday music. Admission is sold per carload, and once inside families can browse seven Christmas shops (including Tinsel Towne Trains), warm up at the bonfire, see a full-size, lifelike Nativity that occasionally includes live animals, and eat at Santa's Bakery & Cafe, which serves funnel cakes, hot dogs, pizza, pretzels and hot chocolate. A trackless train ride and a wagon ride, about five to seven minutes each, follow the same path out to Santa's House and back. Santa himself sits in Grandma's House across from Admissions during all open hours; visiting him is free, and only the Ranch's elves take photos, which are sold separately. Partial proceeds go to children's hospitals and other charities.
