Holiday on the Farm at Frying Pan Farm Park

An Early-Bedtime Holiday Night on the Farm

Holiday on the Farm at Frying Pan Farm Park is the one I'd pick for toddlers. It's early, 4:30 to 7pm, and it's short and sweet. There are five evenings: December 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19.

Your ticket includes one wagon ride through the lights and one ride on the trackless train. Santa is there, there's a campfire, and the farm animals are out. Tickets are $12 per person online, and the presale closes at 11:59pm the night before. At the door it's $15.

Refunds only happen if the park cancels the event. Frying Pan is a working farm park in Herndon, so wear shoes that can handle a little mud, and bring hats and gloves for the wagon.
