Rip Van Winkle Gardens dresses the historic Joseph Jefferson Home, which gave the gardens their Rip Van Winkle name, in Victorian holiday decor and opens it for tours from December 1.
The house sits in the gardens on Jefferson Island, so a holiday tour pairs naturally with a stroll outside where kids have room to roam after the decorated rooms.
Parent tip: Go on a weekday morning when tours are quieter, and leave time to walk the gardens after the house.

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.
