Festive Activities for All Ages

Wander through the beautifully decorated park and enjoy caroling, live music, and plenty of holiday cheer. Little ones will love free crafts and dazzling model train displays, while Santa himself will be on hand for photos and visits.

Treat yourself to tasty holiday goodies, shop for unique gifts at the craft boutique, or hop aboard the Poway Midland Railroad for a magical nighttime ride around the park.

A Magical Tree Lighting Tradition

The highlight of this old-fashioned holiday tradition is the tree lighting ceremony, which truly captures the spirit of the season. Don’t miss Santa’s grand entrance – he’ll be arriving by train right after the tree lights up!

This magical moment takes place at 6 PM on Friday, December 12.

To visit Santa, they have a ticketing system. A ticket booth will be outside of Templars Hall in the Carriage Turn beginning at 3:30 PM, where you’ll receive a designated return time to visit Santa. Tickets are $5.
