Guests stroll past dazzling animated light displays, walk through a color-changing musical tunnel, and gather around a majestic 30-foot tall musical Christmas tree dancing to holiday tunes. Kids will love visiting friendly barnyard animals in the petting zoo, jumping on giant bouncing pillows, sliding down farm slides, and toasting sweet marshmallows over outdoor fire pits. Santa visits on select weekend evenings for family photo opportunities. Unpaved farm trails are wide and manageable with sturdy all-terrain strollers. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [Christmas at Schnepf Farms](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/christmas-at-schnepf-farms--listing-ea704736d5b2dcdfeba07f70) — Nov 27 – Dec 27 · 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Schnepf Farms, Queen Creek · All ages · From $19.95 · checked Nov 4.
