The big one
The Disney castle
Sixteen feet of castle, projection-mapped with the same technique as the front of the house — so it doesn't just light up, it tells a story.

Around back
The walk-through display
When the first show out front wraps up, the back opens and you can walk right through the whole thing. Fourteen stops, nearly all of it built by hand, one piece at a time, across twelve months of the year.
14 things to see
Opens ~7:15 PM
Free, like everything else
The display
Everything out back
Take it at your own pace — most people spend half an hour back here, longer if the kids find the reindeer.
The Christmas Ferris Wheel
Sixteen feet tall, spinning and changing colour all night long. You'll hear it before you round the corner.
The house from A Christmas Story
Yes, the leg lamp is in the window. It is, as promised, a major award.
Guest nights
The Polar Express train
The train's here all season. The Conductor himself turns up on December 4th and 5th — the schedule has the details.
Santa's Sleigh
Climb in. It was built to be climbed into, and it's the photo most families go home with.
The light tunnels
Walk straight through them. Small children have been known to do several laps.

Something to eat, something to take home
Two more reasons to linger, both of them run by people other than us.
Fezziwig's Christmas Market
Local vendors, artists and crafters set up inside the display on weekend evenings. Most take cards, but it varies by stall — bringing a little cash is the safe move.
Market hours & vendors →Santa's Snack Shack
Run by local charities and community groups, with a different one behind the counter most nights. Whatever they take goes to their cause.

It gets bigger every year
Each season has had its own theme. The photo galleries from all of them are further down this page.

Before you walk it
Getting round the back
No steps anywhere in it. The route is wheelchair, walker and stroller friendly the whole way round — paths are a mix of pavement, grass and gravel, so flat but not uniformly smooth. There are a few places to sit, though not many.
Climb only what's meant for climbing. The sleigh is built for photos. If something's roped off or fenced, it's look-don't-touch — a lot of this took a year to make.
The back opens after the first show, around 7:15, and stays open until the last one finishes at nine.
