Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: Horse-drawn carriage rides: $5 per person per ride for ages 16 and older; children 15 and younger ride free.
  • Hours: Horse-drawn carriage rides: 6:00 to 9:00 PM on select Friday and Saturday nights, with exceptions. No general event opening times are stated.
  • Parking: Drive-through visitors enter from Silverbrook Drive; you can drive the route first, then park and walk.
  • Accessibility: Horse and carriage rides are not wheelchair accessible due to the size of the carriages.
  • Pets: Dogs are not allowed in Regner Park, including when leashed or contained.

Tips & Advice

  • Drive the full route first, then park and walk around for the campfire, Santa and a carriage ride, since the walking route alone doesn't cover the whole display.
  • Expect a wait for the carriage rides, which are first come, first served with no sign-up, and bring cash or a check to pay.
  • Bring the kids to see Santa on a Sunday or Monday night, when each child gets a coupon for a free hot chocolate.
  • When you leave, turn right onto Park Avenue, because left turns out of the event are prohibited.
  • Bring nonperishable food in non-glass containers, since donations go to food pantries in Washington County and Menomonee Falls.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Horse-drawn carriage rides on select Friday and Saturday nights, at extra cost for ages 16 and up and free for kids 15 and under
  • Children who visit Santa on Sunday and Monday nights get a coupon for a free hot chocolate

Quick Actions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I walk through instead of driving?

Yes. Walkers enter from Main Street and drivers enter from Silverbrook Drive. The walking route is shorter and doesn't cover the whole display.

How do the horse-drawn carriage rides work?

Carriages run on select Friday and Saturday nights. There are no reservations or waiting list; it's first come, first served. Each carriage holds 12 to 15 people and circles the pond between the lights. Kids 15 and under ride free, and adults pay by cash or check.

What food is there?

The concessions stand sells hot chocolate, gourmet hot dogs, hot pretzels with cheese, fresh popcorn, soup, chips and candy bars, subject to availability.

Can a bus drive through?

Small buses up to 11 feet high with a 12-foot wheelbase can take the drive-through route. Passengers on larger buses are welcome in the walk-through area.

Can I bring food donations?

Yes. Nonperishable food donations go to food pantries in Washington County and Menomonee Falls. Please don't donate anything in glass containers.
