Families can take a tractor-drawn wagon ride out into the snowy fields to choose and cut their own fresh Fraser Fir or Blue Spruce Christmas tree, explore the holiday market, and warm up by crackling outdoor fire pits with fresh cinnamon sugar donuts and piping hot apple cider. Inside the cozy barn, The Santa Experience offers children an intimate personal visit with Santa Claus, complete with a commemorative photo, holiday craft, a fresh cider donut and cocoa, and a special toy from Santa's treasure basket. The farm grounds and tree lot are free to visit, while Santa sessions and heated private outdoor igloo dining require advance reservations. ## Similar picks in Detroit - [Holiday Fun & Santa Visits at Maybury Farm](https://grassyknees.com/detroit/activities/holiday-fun-and-santa-visits-at-maybury-farm--listing-b9fde709f8b3ec25ec1013be) — Sat, Dec 5 (+3 more dates) · Maybury Farm, Northville · checked Oct 28.
