Christmas at Schnepf Farms

I have been taking my son here for the last 3 years and he still loves it! The illumination train is my favorite it's so fun! There are lots of different light displays with great music and it's a decently long (but not too long) ride too. The lady working at the train is awesome, she has so much energy and she even got my son and a few other kids out dancing with her while waiting in line for the next train. The food is kind of expensive, I paid $8 for a small cup of Mac n cheese and my son was still hungry after so ended up spending another $12 I think for funnel cake. At least it was good food. If you want to see Santa I suggest getting there right when they open. Last year we got there before they opened and the line was still really long but this year we got there 15 minutes after opening and the wait was already 1 hour long which is way too long for a 5 year old boy to stand in one place doing nothing and it stayed that way the rest of the night so the last 2 years we missed out on seeing Santa. I think that's the one thing they could improve on especially considering that's probably a big part of the reason people go. Feeding the reindeer is another favorite but I suggest going to do that sooner than later as they seem to get full or less interested in taking food from the kids later in the evening. Bathrooms are decent and seem to be kept up with pretty well. If you are looking for a place to have some Holiday fun Christmas at Schnepf Farms should be on your list!

Great Christmas experience. Definitely recommend getting tickets in advance and showing up when the place opens to make sure you can do everything. Kids had a great time. Would come back next year.

The place is nice and I can appreciate being out of the city for a couple of hours. The food prices are a little high and the wait times are long and take up the majority of your time so I should have planned ahead for that. But some of the rides like the train were sold out. My kids enjoyed it but I couldn't really find anything to make me want to come back.

I have come here for the past 5 years, I love the lights and atmosphere. Workers are very nice, I would love to rate it more stars, but past 2 years it has been beyond packed. You spend more time waiting in lines than actually enjoying the activities. 3 hrs and literally 3 activities done, another 30 min in line for a funnel cake. 1hr after opening and they ran out of s'more kits, which is unfortunate since my kids really looked forward to it.

This was such a fun experience! We haven’t gone in past years because it always seemed a little over priced for what they offered. However, this year was amazing! The train ride through the lights was very well done and my kids loved it. There were many things to do which we didn’t have time to get it all done. My only negative thing to say is that it is still pretty pricey. Most things to do a “pay per event” type thing. So your admission cost doesn’t cover most things. It’s still a fun experience worth doing every year as tradition.
