Families board the Illumination Express train for an open-air ride through magical light displays to Santa's Toy Shop, go ice skating under the stars, take hayrides to visit reindeer, and stroll down a charming snow-dusted Main Street. Kids will delight in obstacle courses, vintage carousel rides, giant holiday bouncing pads, and roasting gooey s'mores around roaring bonfires. Schnepf Farms' famous fresh fruit pies, spiced apple cider, and holiday cookies are available in the farm bakery. Farm walkways are unpaved but well-maintained for all-terrain strollers. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [Christmas Fest at Vertuccio Farms (Lights at the Farm)](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/christmas-fest-at-vertuccio-farms-lights-at-the-farm--listing-1558a645e08d826691ce7308) — Dec 4 – Dec 23 · 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM · Vertuccio Farms, Mesa · All ages · From $15 · checked Nov 7.
