Christmas in the Country... Santa's Lookout!

Part of the magic at Santa’s Lookout is our interaction with the kids. We have costume characters and a live reindeer display… plus activities for the little ones as well. Here is a quick rundown of some of those activities to help you plan your visit.

What You Need To Know

TICKETS

Tickets for the Lookout Express train ride MUST be purchased in advance… seating is limited. The time slot you select is for the train departure time… NOT your arrival time. You’re encouraged to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your departure time. General admission tickets are only available on site but those DO NOT include the train ride or entrance into the main lights event. However they do offer the chance to meet Santa, purchase a photo with him or pose for a photo of the Grinch. (additional charge) You can also meet some of the other characters walking around the Lookout for FREE!

 

*Please note, when ordering your tickets we DO operate in rain or snow showers, just not severe inclement weather. If you have concerns about this or think your plans may change please consider adding Ticket- Insurance during checkout so that you can make adjustments within 24 hours of your reservation.

**Tickets without ticket-insurance are NOT eligible for cancelations or changes. If you fail to show for a reservation when we are open, you will forfeit your tickets.
