Santa in the Barn at Case-Barlow Farm
- When: Saturdays, December 5 and December 12, 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm
- Where: Barlow Farm Park, 1965 Barlow Road, Hudson, OH 44236 (opens in maps)

Expand to see the parent tip
Santa sets up in the historic barn at Case-Barlow Farm on two December Saturdays, giving kids a farmyard alternative to the downtown crowds.
The 19th century farm sits inside Barlow Farm Park on Barlow Road, so there is room to run around outside before or after the visit.
Parent tip: Pick December 12 if you want to skip the busy December 5 downtown day, and dress for a chilly barn.

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.
