Just in time for the holiday season, Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek turns into a magical winter wonderland. The east valley mainstay has partnered for the third year with World of Illumination\u2014known for producing the largest drive-through light shows in the world\u2014to present Christmas at Schnepf Farms, now open to the public until December 31, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 25 acres of the farm are transformed into a hub of family holiday entertainment, including the brand-new four-lane Sleigh Bell Slide and a giant ferris wheel. Visitors can stop by the newly redesigned Santa\u2019s workshop that includes a letter-writing station for the big guy himself. There\u2019s also pine-cone decorating, a historic Christmas carousel and snow-globe mini golf. Additionally, guests can take a hayride to feed the reindeer, frolic through the world\u2019s largest Christmas-themed obstacle course, shop along the promenade and enjoy holiday movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another highlight of Christmas at Schnepf Farms is the Illumination Express train ride. Thanks to the partnership with World of Illumination, guests can experience a train trip through an RGB LED tunnel that doubles as Santa\u2019s magic portal. When finished, visitors can soak up the warmth of one of the farm\u2019s Christmas campfires, complete with the option of an added-on s\u2019mores kit. A large beer and wine garden also is available for adults to enjoy while the children explore the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so excited to introduce new festive elements to Christmas at Schnepf Farms as well as bring back traditional favorites,\u201d says farm owner Mark Schnepf. \u201cIt\u2019s outdoor holiday entertainment perfect for the entire family to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
