Snap a picture with Santa, meet real reindeer and unicorns, or join themed nights like the Polar Express Pajama Party and Snazzy Sweater Celebration.
Elf on the Shelf Bingo
Our larger-than-life Elf on the Shelf is on the move! Each night through December 24, he’ll sneak off to a new hiding spot in the park. Grab a bingo card at the ticket booth, find him, and write the date on the square where you found him!
Complete a row and bring your winning card to the Williston Visitor Center for a merry little prize from Santa’s helpers!
Letters to Santa
Santa’s mailbox is open! Stop inside the Keel Boat to drop off your letter in the big red mailbox. Make sure to include your return address— Santa’s helpers love writing back.
You’ll receive a blank letter form at the ticket booth, and if you’ve got more kids in the car, just ask for extra. Be sure to get those letters in by December 17!
Christmas Market

Step into the Christmas Market inside the Keel Boat and explore festive booths filled with handcrafted gifts, baked goods, and other ready-to-gift items from area makers. It’s the perfect stop to shop local and spread holiday cheer!
