Santa, animals, lights, and hot cocoa — on a real working farm.
This is the one night a year you can be out on a working organic farm after dark — feeding the same animals that live here year-round, with a real bonfire going. Visit with Santa, take in the lights, warm up with cocoa and s'mores, and see the farm the way it really looks in winter.
Pick a night and just show up.
Open admission the whole window each evening — no timed slots to manage.
What to expect.
A Visit with Santa
Sit down with Santa on a real farm porch, not a mall backdrop. Free photos, no line tickets, no premium package — just walk up when he's out.
Letters to Santa
Drop a letter in Crown Point's own mailbox before — or instead of — finding Santa in person. A quiet stop for kids who'd rather write it down, or just want two chances to tell him what's on their list.
Feed the Animals
Meet and feed Crown Point's own resident goats, pigs, and flock — the same animals who live here year-round, not a rented petting zoo for the day.
Hayride
A ride through the farm's own fields — weather permitting.
Weather-DependentChristmas Lights & Inflatables
The farm dressed up for the season — lights and holiday inflatables throughout the grounds.
Hot Cocoa
Warm up with hot cocoa — a real, cozy stop on a cold farm evening.
Campfire & S'mores
Pull up a stump at the fire pit and roast a few marshmallows the old-fashioned way. A real fire, on a real farm — the kind of stop that turns a quick visit into a night you stay for.
Arts & Crafts
A hands-on holiday craft station for kids and families to enjoy alongside everything else.
Music by the Fire
A local musician plays live by the fire each night — carols, old favorites, and a little warmth for the ears along with the flames.
Weather policy
This is a real working farm in December — dress warmly, in layers, with boots suited for grass and mud.
The hayride specifically depends on weather and field conditions. If it can't safely run, the rest of the event — Santa, animals, lights, cocoa — continues regardless.
Admission & hours.
Donation-based, open admission
No timed entry, no ticket tiers, no upsells — just a suggested donation at the door: $5 per person, $20 per family. Every dollar goes straight into keeping this farm's animals and programs running. This is designed as a value-add for the community, not a revenue-driving event. Hours run 6–9 PM: sunset in early December in Ohio is around 5 PM, so the whole event happens after dark — exactly when the Christmas lights look best.
Two nights. A real farm. A real Santa. No ticket required.
Open admission, donation-based — just show up.
