Rides leave from Festival Park by the big tree and last 8–15 minutes (about 10 on average). Each carriage holds four people, or in some cases two adults and three children under 10. Rides run Wednesday–Friday 4:30–8:30 p.m. and Saturday–Sunday 5:00–8:00 p.m. from November 22 to January 3, except Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.
