Photos with Santa

Santa will be on the square to hear what the little ones want for Christmas. Capture the moment with a photo that you'll have for years to come.

*No reservation is required to take photos with Santa. Photos will be taken on a first-come-first-served order.

Cow and Goat in Petting Zoo

Petting Zoo

Visit our interactive petting zoo presented by  Westland Ranch. This attraction is a clean, healthy, safe environment that’s ideal for children and adults!

Move freely among the animals and allow the children to “groom” the animals; brushes are provided! The Ponies & Pals animal family consists of miniature farm animals including goats, sheep, horses, mules, donkeys, potbelly pigs, cows, llamas and alpacas.

Of course, Lance the Lemur – always a favorite at Home for the Holidays - will be returning as well!

  • Admission is charged per child, and each child may have one adult accompany them free of charge.
  • Admission for additional adults, or adults attending without children, will be charged individually.
