Expect visits with Santa, children’s activities, sponsor booths and performances by local schools and community groups. The district even invites families to show up in Christmas sweaters or Whoville-inspired outfits.
Parent tip: Skating sessions sell out on tree lighting night, so buy rink tickets ahead, and expect the 6 and 8 pm sessions to start a little late.

Every ticket includes skate rental, there are skate-assist aids for smaller kids, and the rink stays open in light rain. Saturday morning Skate School sessions run through December for kids who want lessons.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
