3. FREE Santa Visits at Sherwood Forest!
Bring your kids this holiday season to visit the Best Santa in the Metro Detroit Area. In his newly re-modeled Cozy Little Cabin Santa will be waiting to see each girl and each boy on every weekend this holiday season. Parents bring your camera & kids bring your wish list for Santa. As always this is a no charge visit and your child will leave with a Smile and a Candy Cane. New This Year – TOY DRIVE – Giving feels even better than receiving and that is why this year we are partnering with the Rainbow Connection to bring the Magic of Christmas to kids who are less fortunate. Help us spread Christmas Cheer to kids in need by bringing in a new toy or buying one from the Toy Section of our store.

The Polar Express trolley experience is a $12 ticket for a magical family outing on Saturday. The experience starts with a golden ticket for your entry punched by the Conductor. The ride includes a reading of the Polar Express book, Christmas carols, hot cocoa station, trolley ride around downtown Lake Orion, private family photos with Santa at The Locale, and a mini bell keepsake from your journey!
5. Santa Visits the Farm!
Santa is visiting Cook's Farm Dairy! Bring your family and friends to see Mr. Holly Jolly himself. This is a free event that Cook's puts on for the whole community. Sit on his lap, take pictures, say "hi" to Mrs. Claus, and feel free to leave a Letter to Santa in his mailbox to the North Pole. Santa is flying in on Saturday (Dec. 14th) and Sunday (December 15th) this year!
