Bonanzaville’s pioneer village steps back in time for one day, with carolers in the streets, horse-drawn wagon rides between the old buildings and Christmas cards coming off the presses in the Print Shop.
Kids get to make homemade presents while cookies bake in a wood-burning oven, and a soup and sandwich lunch is served from 11 am to 2 pm.
Parent tip: The wagon rides and outdoor village are the highlight, so dress kids for a North Dakota December and plan lunch around the 11 to 2 meal.

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.
