Finding the listed items wins a prize from Santa's gift bag. After the hunt there is a Christmas craft table, a hot-chocolate bar, and a Christmas movie in one of the theaters. The parks page says registration is not required and the hunt is free. Families can arrive any time inside the published window. This is a dated program inside the nature center, not the ongoing nature-center place listing. ## Similar picks in Cleveland - [Santa Nights at Carlisle Visitor Center](https://grassyknees.com/cleveland/activities/santa-nights-at-carlisle-visitor-center--listing-3b8c548408ed0bc85b9b902a) — Thu, Dec 3 (+2 more dates) · 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM · Carlisle Visitor Center, LaGrange · Free · checked Oct 27.
