Tips & Advice
- Head to the s'mores early in the evening, because they're handed out only while supplies last at Firemen's Park.
- Dress warmly for an evening outdoors at Firemen's Park in late November, and plan to warm up by the bonfires after the lighting.
- Stick around after the 50-foot tree lights up for the special visit from Santa, along with the bonfires and s'mores.
- If your child needs a break from the crowd, look for the Chaska Parks and Recreation sensory-friendly zone with fidget toys, headphones and coloring or crafts.
