The parks page lists the visits as an additional activity with the lights, not as a separately priced party. Families who are already on the free light trail can add this stop. Balloon twisting, the Santa shop, and Little Green Choo rides are different activities on other evenings at the same building. No age limit is printed. ## Similar picks in Cleveland - [Santa Shop at Carlisle Visitor Center](https://grassyknees.com/cleveland/activities/santa-shop-at-carlisle-visitor-center--listing-7d0fb14a8f06f5ad717484c5) — Fri, Nov 27 (+10 more dates) · 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM · Carlisle Visitor Center, Carlisle Reservation, LaGrange · checked Oct 30.
