Know Before You Go

Tips & Advice

  • Bring your own camera for the Grinch greetings, which happen outside, and for the giant photo wreath and the Santa sleigh with reindeer.
  • Visit on a December weekend to get photos with Santa, because they're only offered then and are included with your entry.
  • Bring extra money for a marshmallow s'mores kit and hot cocoa, because the fire pits are included with admission but the treats cost extra.
  • Expect the skating rink to feel different from a regular rink, because it's a synthetic ice surface rather than real ice.
  • Check Waterdrinker's Facebook or Instagram before you go in bad weather, because all outdoor activities, including the jump pads, depend on the weather.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this year: the Grinch Lair.
  • Photos with Santa on weekends in December, included with admission.
  • Holiday Wreath Workshop at the brewery on December 9 and 16, for an extra fee, with no reservations needed and spots available while supplies last.
