The round-trip sleigh ride takes approximately 40 minutes total, with dinner lasting about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The sleigh departs promptly at 5:30PM, although guests are encouraged to arrive early for check-in and boarding.
This experience is open to all ages and is limited to 20 guests per ride. Due to the open-air sleigh and winter conditions, warm layers and ski attire are strongly recommended. Blankets may be available.
