SEASONAL EVENTS
SANTA TROLLEY AT WARSTLER FARM: SELECT EVENINGS IN DECEMBER
Come to Warstler Farm and tell Santa Claus your Christmas wishes (remember to bring your camera). See our Christmas lights, warm yourself by the firepit, hear Christmas Carols, visit our tiny store (where souvenirs, popcorn and hot chocolate can be purchased - everything else at the farm is included), make a craft and write Santa a letter, and everyone (adults too) take a trolley ride driven by Santa Claus! The Big Barn will be decorated from the top floor to the bottom floor, and the Milk House (Santa's favorite place) and the Unicorn Barn will be decorated too,, and even the Corn Crib will be decorated. This year the outdoor light path is optional, but highly recommended. What makes our farm special? No lines, no crowds, time with Santa (not just a quick picture, but not too long that it gets weird), it is fun for the entire family - even the dads, and there is no other event like ours. Approximately half the time will be spent outdoor so please DRESS WARM (bringing a blanket for the trolley ride is recommended). This event last about an hour. Tickets can be purchased per person or per trolley car (If you have more than 7 people in your group book the trolley car and save money!) the trolley car can accommodate 1 person to 12 people per trolley car (Yep, just one or two people can rent an entire trolley car and ride in it alone - we prefer it. It saves us a bunch of paperwork and that is the option we would do if we were a guest.) Please keep in mind each trolley car has 4 rows and each row is about the size of a truck backseat bench. So if 4 of you can not fit in the backseat of a truck - then 4 of you will not fit on a trolley car bench (10 guests per trolley car might be your magic number - 8 is mine). Everything mentioned is included except the food, drinks, and items from the tiny store. Parking is free in our improved parking area. Children 2 years and less are free and still get what the big kids get, they do not need to be counted in your trolley car total, but may need to sit on your lap depending on what option you choose - they do need to be counted in the booking question. Want to make it a private event, or maybe you want to spend more time with Santa and less time on the craft or vice versa? Book all 3 trolley cars in the same hour (up to 36 people) will give you flexibility in your itinerary during your hour. It gives you and your family/friends/ group the freedom to focus on what interests you, OR if you want to turn the Santa Trolley Event into a party for your family, friends, or business please email warstlerfarm@gmail.com as soon as possible this option is very limited and books up quickly. For everything else please book online and in advance for this event (want to pay in cash, please email to make arrangements). *All sales are final, but your time slot can be transferred to another person, or transferred to another time/day if available (as long as Warstler Farm is notified so our paperwork can be adjusted) and as long as you select the option to store your information (don't worry this option only changes what you can see - it shows you what I can see and makes it able for you to reschedule on your own) . As always, Warstler Farm would like to be available to everyone, please email if special times, prices, or mask precautions are needed and we will try to accommodate you (we really mean this, just email and we will do our best to accommodate your family - believe me we understand, we have had a hard years too). *Please be aware that this is a historic hay/pumpkin farm some of the event occurs on grass and gravel terrain and there are steps (big ones and small ones - historic places are funny like that).
